A stone's throw from Taksim square, so you are close to shopping areas that are very lively in the evening. Sultahnamet is about 20 minutes away by taxi.
The 194 rooms are spacious and very comfortable. White and beige, elegant decor. They have every comfort you could wish for. There is satellite TV, coffee and tea set, safe and minibar. The bathrooms have a beautifully presented selection of welcome products, a bath, a hair dryer.
Built in 2004 over 9 floors, the Point hotel has 194 rooms. Its modern facade belies the amazing internal space. Very spacious, the lobby has beautiful light and a mezzanine overlooking the salons. On the ground floor there is a bar and a Japanese restaurant. Elegant decor and purity reign in all the spaces. The corridors are adorned with beautiful black and white photos. The restaurant on the top floor has a beautiful bright room overlooking the Bosphorus. The spa in the basement has a different ambiance - it is like being in a spa in Asia.
The restaurants are lovely spaces. The food is good quality. In the Japanese restaurant, the chef cuts sashimi in front of the customers. It is open for lunch and dinner. Next door, the snack bar provides nibbles at any time of day. On the 9th floor, the main restaurant offers very generous breakfast buffets between 7 am and 11 am, for lunch between 11 am and 2 pm, and for dinner between 7 pm and 11 pm.
The Point has a great spa (9 am-9 pm) with 9 treatment rooms (hydrotherapy and massages) and an indoor triangular pool. All the rooms were renovated in 2006 to simplify the decor. 6 conference rooms.

Efficiency and style are undeniable features of the Midtown Hotel.
Located in the heart of the Taksim district, this hotel, which caters to a large business clientele, appears to easily meet the various requirements of its guests.
This hotel is a pleasant place to stay for several reasons, one of which is the welcome afforded to its guests.
If you have the opportunity (and luck), ask for the Corner Suite: this is definitely the best room in the hotel.
The style of the Nippon is elegant and designer, its common areas and guest rooms decorated with simplicity and character.
The hotel opened some ten years ago, but it has kept a youthful and energetic atmosphere, taking advantage of its small size and its location to attract a mixed clientele: a perfect establishment for holidaymakers but also well equipped to cater for those travelling to the area on business, the Nippon is the ideal establishment for a stay in the capital.
Located close to the business quarter and the best bars and nightclubs in Istanbul, the Intercontinental Ceylan offers all the services of a top international hotel. A practical and comfortable place with no unpleasant surprises.
This is a discreet little place at the very heart of Taksim, the city's business district.
With its fine restaurant and pleasant staff, the Feronya primarily attracts business travellers, though it is also a good place for a perfectly pleasant getaway.
Nevertheless, a good bit of renovations wouldn't go amiss, particularly where the rather gloomy communal areas are concerned.
Strange mixture! The Divan offers modernism and the services of a large hotel in a slightly 70's atmosphere. A functional, comfortable address a few minutes' walk from Taksim Square.
Located close to the Marmara, this hotel has a young and dynamic style that is rather convincing: take, for example, the restaurant that caters to business travellers and employees who work in the surrounding offices daily, as well as the clean, private, and welcoming spa.
The strong point of this hotel is undoubtedly its proximity to Taksim Square, the business centre of Istanbul and a hub for nightlife.
The Taksim is a discreet place to a stay, either alone or with your family.
The Euro Plaza is a unpretentious hotel located between Galata Bridge and Taksim Square. It benefits from basic comfort in a rather unexceptional setting.
The Hotel Hilton in Istanbul offers all the standard comfort of large business hotels, but this place is also suitable for tourists and anyone who wants high-quality services. It is rare in Istanbul to find a hotel with a large landscaped garden.
As its name indicates, the Sumahan on the Water is a little world on the water. Inside, it displays a balance of lines and shapes that create a modern style and is never cold. This is a bit of a surprise given the exterior aspect of the building, which management wanted to keep as nondescript as possible.
This effort to go unnoticed speaks of the attention afforded to the guests, in terms of welcome, service, and cuisine. The Sumahan blends luxury and attention to detail together with know-how, efficiency, good taste, and quality.
It also commands one of the finest views of the Bosphorus there is. It really is in a league of its own.
This is a prestigious hotel offering the services of large European hotels combined with oriental charm. The setting is incredibly romantic, making the Ciragan Palace an ideal location for any honeymoon and all types of celebration. It is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Istanbul.
The Four Seasons is indisputably the most charming place in Istanbul. Nothing is left to chance in this old restored prison: neither decor, nor service. An excellent place to enjoy top-class service in the heart of one of the most beautiful historical sites in the old town.
Like the phoenix, the Çiragan Palade has risen from the ashes to produce a high-ranking and very charming hotel. An exceptional location by the Bosphorus in order to stay in the same place where sultans lived.
This luxury hotel is of a very good standing. This hotel is made for those seeking excellent comfort as well as numerous and impeccable services. Its only downside is the distant location.
An elegant, quality international hotel for business people and holidaymakers. Great food too.
