Istanbul

Istanbul, Turkey

Where To Stay
Hotel Amira is a boutique hotel in right in the Capital's heart. With a gorgeous view and a central location, it's a great spot to stay. The pictures on the website along with the description depict the perfect combination of Turkish culture with modern accents. For example the ceilings feature locally hand painted portraits, yet the rooms still feature designer mattresses and ipod docks.The hotel also features a spa, buffet breakfast, and a 5 O'clock tea buffet. Similar to the other hotels I have featured on this website, Hotel Amira is a top ranked hotel on Trip Advisor , where it is ranked number two out of all the hotels in Istanbul. You can check out Trip Advisors page for Hotel Amira here . The actual Hotel Amira website is also a great website to get a good look at the hotel. The photos are beautiful and the hotel looks like a gorgeous place to stay for comfort and an authentic Turkish experience. Check out the hotel's website here .
