Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul At Sultanahmet

Flawless stay—rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed with Bosphorus views. Staff anticipated every request, from early check-in to dinner reservations. Location is unbeatable: walk to historic sites, tram right outside. Bed and linens felt luxurious; blackout curtains guaranteed deep sleep. Breakfast buffet had fresh local options plus classic favorites. Worth every penny for a holiday by the water—would return in a heartbeat.

Our stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Sultanahmet was truly exceptional from start to finish. The team went above and beyond even before we arrived by answering questions promptly and helping arrange a fantastic private tour guide who made our visit to Istanbul unforgettable. The hotel’s location could not be better. Situated in the heart of Sultanahmet, it’s incredibly walkable to Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, making it easy to explore the city at a good pace while still having a peaceful retreat to return to. The room itself was beautiful. It was spacious yet warm and inviting, with the kind of thoughtful details that make you feel immediately at home. Check-in was seamless, and because the hotel is relatively small, the experience felt personal, curated, and attentive in a way that larger properties often cannot match. Throughout our stay, the staff made us feel less like guests and more like family. Breakfast each morning was a highlight, with excellent service and a wonderful selection in a stunning setting in the courtyard. What impressed us most, however, was the care shown after our departure. When we realized we had left items behind in the room, the hotel quickly helped coordinate a courier to meet us at IST Airport during our layover between Milan and Miami. That level of service is rare and deeply appreciated. This was a fantastic experience in every way and a property fully deserving of its Three-Key Michelin designation. We would return without hesitation and we hope to again soon!

We ordered a kids’ menu for our 1.5-year-old baby. Thanks to the staff, they charged us for an item that costs 2.5 times more than the adult menu :) On top of that, when we ordered some snacks and a glass of wine without checking the menu, we were charged €40 for a single glass of wine. Where in the world does such business ethics exist? You are turning people who come to Istanbul for vacation away from tourism! 1,5 yaşında bebeğimiz için çocuk menüsü sipariş ettik sağolsun çalışan arkadaşlar yetişkin menüsünden 2,5 kat fiyatı olan bir ürünü faturaya yansıtmışlar :) Yanında atıştırmalıklar ve Menüye bakmadan 1 kadeh şarap sipariş edince de 1 kadeh şarap için 40€ yazılmış… Dünyanın neresinde böyle bir ticari ahlak var? İstanbul’a tatile gelen insanları turizmden soğutuyorsunuz!

Located at a very unexpecred area of the famous Sultanahmet , Istanbul. Considering , the building was previously a jail, outside the property looked very uninviting mustard colour, however once you get there, a tremendous warm welcome and the interior is amazing. All day restaurant is small for a Four Seasons, however the service is relentlessly attractive and top class. Enjoyed the food, ambience, beautiful gardens and ofcourse the service. A must visit experience.

Four Seasons Sultanahmet est parfaitement situé. Ayant opté pour un hébergement sur le Bosphore, nous avons avec plaisir, passer du temps au bar et restaurant de ce palace entre 2 visites. Précisement, 4 fois, l'hôtel est magnifique 😍 et doit être plus beau encore au printemps et en été. Le service a tout les niveaux est irréprochable. Les cocktails sont réussis, les plats sont bons, gouteux, le service du restaurant est parfait ! la prochaine fois nous y séjournerons.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel’s building, with its historical aesthetic, impressed me greatly. We hosted our VIP guests coming from the United States of America. The breakfast is prepared with high-quality ingredients, and there is a comfortable seating area located right next to the main tourist attractions. From the center of Istanbul, we are delighted to welcome our guests who will visit us to purchase the world’s most valuable Turkish Centauri honey.

This beautiful crocus yellow hotel, built around a large inward facing courtyard has a Lake Como villa look, not at all like its prison origins. Even in February brightly planted with vibrant cyclamen, violas and polyanthus. It’s virtually a stone’s throw from both the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque and so couldn’t be better located. The rooms are as comfortable as you might expect, the staff always gracious and welcoming, and the restaurant excellent for both breakfast and dinner with plenty of interesting Turkish dishes. Feels small in a good, friendly way, not big and corporate, and highly recommended.

Doğum günüm için Four Sultanahmet Cafe’yi tercih ettik, iyi ki de etmişiz! Baştan sona çok ilgililerdi, her detayla tek tek ilgilendiler. Hem ortam hem hizmet gerçekten çok güzeldi. Bu özel günümü güzelleştirdikleri için çok teşekkür ederim 🥰

Booked a suite for my family via AMEX FHR, stayed 4 nights. Everything is 10/10 except the breakfast and cafe. They included the essentials for our infant (shower kit etc), which is certainly not expected but very kind of them. Service overall is truly amazing, however they fall short in breakfast and cafe. While every item of the breakfast is great, the service falls short. Every day there would be something - for the first day they only brought in 1 cup of water, where there was 5 of us as. Then, on our last day, you have to flag down a waiter even though there was usually 2-3 tables apart from us during the stay. Furthermore, the cafe is a hit or miss. One time, a guy made the coffee, and it was great. The other time, a lady made a coffee, and when I asked for it to be even shorter, she just re-ran the same puck (without grinding a new one) which is something I've yet to seen anywhere. Just seems like the team that deals with food/cafe is less eager to service than the rest. Overall, we had originally planned on extending our stay, and this made us sway away from extending as we felt that the food & cafe service was deteriorating more and more each day.

Elegant & cultural An exceptional hotel in a stunning historical setting. The atmosphere is peaceful and refined, and the service is absolutely impeccable. The staff are professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The rooms are elegant, quiet, and extremely comfortable. The breakfast is excellent, and the location is perfect for exploring Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks. A truly unforgettable experience.

有名観光地や美味しい レストラン徒歩5分以内で 立地良し！敷地は緑多めで静かです 朝食も品数多めでとても良い 何よりもスタッフがパーフェクト！ 覚えたてのトルコ語で挨拶したら 全てのスタッフが笑顔で返してくれます お部屋は綺麗でベッドは日本人にとっては 大きいし　ベッドが硬めで好き ダウンタイムお水の補給あり 誕生日だったのでケーキ置いてあって 広いお部屋になってました コンセントは変換必要　また泊まりたい！

There are 5 star hotels, There are luxury hotels and top of these, there is another category which this hotel belongs to that only few can make into. When you come to stay here, other hotels just feel mediocre. No wonder why they got so many awards.. Four Seasons already known for the luxury hospitality but I think this one raise the bar even for FS standards. This place has by far most sophisticated and luxurious breakfast I ever seen in any hotel in the World. I hate when breakfast buffet in hotels seems to have unlimited options with big setups but can’t really find what you want. Here everything is freshly prepared in small quantities placed in a unpretentious buffet and you order other items from menu and it’s cooked up to your taste. Everything designed around quality. Nothing here done for sake of checking the box. Atmosphere is also amazing and everything feels just right. If you want to see and experience what a real luxury hotel is.. This is the right place to stay in Istanbul. I will go even beyond to say that this is a hotel one can travel to Istanbul just to stay here.

Fasilli iftar programinda alkol servisi yapilan mekan.Istanbulda pek cok seckin restaurantta iftar yapmis biri olarak ilk defa boyle bir şeye rastliyorum.Ramazanin ruhuna aykiri buldugum bu uygulamadan cok rahatsiz oldum.Ya iftar olmamali ya da içki bilsek asla gelmezdik.

Kafe bölümünde bir kahve içtik açıkçası kahvesi soğuktu ve tadıda hiç lezzetli değildi.Hizmette çok iyi sayılmazdı.Fiyatları gereksiz pahalı hayır kahve lezzetli olsa verilir ama o fiyata hiç değmez :(

Doğum günüm için tercih ettik.Her anlamda çok memnun kaldık gündüz geldiğim zamanda çok güzeldi ama akşam ambiyansı da bir o kadar güzel.Bizimle ilgilenen garson çok nazik ve düşünceliydi teşekkürler.

Four Seasons es nombre de calidad y nivel y sin dudar este hotel hace honor a su reputación. Atencion, servicios y comodidad. A pocos pasos de la Mezquita, baño turco y grandes atracciones de Estambul. Sin dudar fue una de mis grandes experiencias en Turquía hospedarme en este hotel. El desayuno con cocina de autor del chef me encantó. Altamente recomendado.

We had an exceptional stay at this hotel. The location cannot be beat for exploring this vibrant city. The hotel grounds are beautiful and our allocated room was very spacious and well appointed. The service level was top notch and what we expect of a Four Seasons property. The breakfast as well as our other dining experiences here was excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to any of our friends or family.

Excellent location, which let us get the most out of our three days in Turkey. We were within walking distance of the attractions that were interesting to us, which saved a lot of time. Breakfast was amazing, and every morning they'd offer different things for us to try. The room was very spacious and comfortable.

Şarap falan içiyorsanız düzgün masaya alıyorlar. Salep içtik bahçeyi gezmek istedik bir yerde durup fotoğraf çekinmek istedim iki garson bilerek arkamızda geldi durdu afedersiniz fotoğraf çekiliyoruz deyince izin vermediler çekemeden gittim? Bu nasıl saygısızlık

The worst NEW YEARS EVER for a 1000 $ The music was too loud, ok obnoxiously too loud for such a small space. The couple from Paris at our table asked to turn down the speakers but it was useless. I understand that some think loud music makes a party. For those of us who don’t drink wine there were no alternatives in price. There was a mistake in the bill. They charged my colleagues 500$ on my bill. Finally the Parisians said enough is enough and we went to a different area for the COUNTDOWN. I stayed 5 nights. Usually FOUR SEASONS gives a 20% discount for long stays. Breakfast has a well mix of European and Asian selections. The coffee was hot because our server MADE SURE it was. He was excellent and more importantly he cared about his service and his job. I was never going to stay at Four Seasons again. Last year I fell in Abu Dhabi. The floor was ungodly slippery and the rug wasn’t big enough. Here the marble floor didn’t have that ice skating rink look. They knew I fell. My knee was swollen. On return to USA I had my internist and neurologist check me over. PHYSICAL THERAPY was needed. I wrote them plus the office in Canada. Nothing. Zero. Zip. My nephew a Philadelphia lawyer said that I should write a letter first. A. I told the FS in Abu Dhabi and showed them my swollen knee. You could see the edema. I shared on how they could fix this problem. I sent an email also. Upon returning home I sent letter to HQ. FS should check the floors here. No PROBLEM. I didn’t slip or was it slippery. FS should check the floor out here. Staff were very good here. They were warm, caring and professional. The team here were like the quality you find at the OBEROI. FOOD quality here is a B. ITS GOOD BUT NOT GREAT. I think they should offer a little diversity in the menu. My friends had mix drinks and felt they too were a B but not at A level. Yes we are NYC PARIS AND MIAMI but a good bar guide could really fix the problem. The rooms-very clean, housekeeping is very attentive to detail. The physicality of the rooms- they are spacious, great linens , beds and towels. A lot of little amenities that make you feel like you are at home. The location is very good for sightseeing, shopping and sampling other restaurants. The main problem is TAXIS can’t find it. This happened 3 times. A collegial staff in a home like setting. not a grade of 100 but it might be a 96 which is an A at Harvard , Stanford or the University of VIRGINIA. MY FAVORITE two people were the bellman and the young server at breakfast. The front desk and concierge were very competent.
