5* Istanbul hotel in a trendy neighbourhood

• Five-star service: Enjoy the unparalleled Westin service at The Westin Istanbul Nisantasi, a sophisticated address in one of Istanbul’s poshest neighbourhoods. If you’re here to shop, great news: there’s a swanky mall right next door. And for exploring? A metro line is accessible from right outside the hotel. The 150 rooms look out over the airy courtyard below or the vibrant street scenes of this amazingly diverse city – each is elegantly appointed with an urban feel and pillow-top beds.

• Delightful dishes: Flavours of the Mediterranean can be enjoyed any time. All-day dining at Corte Verde begins with abundant breakfasts, continues with flavourful lunches and ends with elegant a la carte dinners. Dine in the lobby restaurant or head out into the garden for a tranquil dining experience accompanied by the scents of magnolia and jasmine. Coffee, tea and cocktails can be enjoyed at Primo, a laid-back café and bar.

• All the amenities: Slick services go hand in hand with Westin hotels, and here you’ll find a well-equipped fitness centre, packed with TechnoGym kit like cardio machines, functional fitness equipment and free weights. In advance, you can reserve yoga sessions and sound therapy classes, and massages are also on offer from Sanitas SPA.
