Four Seasons Sultanahmet - Amazing, in the old city. Highly recommend. Their Bosphorus location is nice too, just not as prime of a location.

Gezi bosphorus had a great location. Small but very nice
Le meridian was far from city center but good hotel

Didn't stay, but the Four Seasons looked nice. Great area (old city). Ended up staying at the Renaissance Polat Bosphours (would only recommend if you need to be in that area). Nice hotel, but not a lot to do around there. Are you going for work or pleasure?

Thanks for the insight, BCG1; I'll look at the Renaissance.

@A1 no place in particular. Ideally, anywhere that's lively and close to things to see.

The Ritz is splendid and close to the golden horn.

Stayed way out on Asian side (had to). Would not recommend staying in golden horn, it’s like being in Times Square. Taksim is close and lots to do but not in the middle of the madness

W Istanbul

OP. DM me and I can give some recommendations on places to eat.
