Hotels in Sultanahmet, Istanbul

Sultanahmet is the old city — the extraordinary peninsular district where the entire monumental history of Byzantine and Ottoman empires lies within walking distance: Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapı Palace, the Basilica Cistern and the Grand Bazaar all a few minutes on foot. Central, dense with history and very tourist-focused, it suits first-time visitors and history lovers who want to immerse themselves in that density. The tram connects to Beyoğlu across the Golden Horn. Streets are quieter at night than the nightlife districts. For the greatest concentration of extraordinary sights per square metre in Istanbul, nothing competes.
