Sultanhan is a comfortable hotel that oozes charm and history and has friendly and accommodating staff. Its excellent location on a quiet, leafy street is approximately 5 minutes’ walk from all the historical sites of old Istanbul.
The large spacious lobby area has been decorated with original artefacts and furniture from the Ottoman period with tables made from old doors, opulent chandeliers and other traditional furniture. The 40 rooms are comfortable and elegant but it’s the rooftop terrace and restaurant with its 360-degree views where you will want to spend most of your time! Also available on the ground floor is a sauna and traditional Turkish bath.
Why we like Sultanhan Hotel
It has a lovely quiet yet central location and the rooftop terrace really is a superb spot to take in the panoramic views of Istanbul
A big thank you for organising this trip of a lifetime, it was amazing. From the start Charlotte and Amy were so helpful and kind and it went without a single hitch - totally stress free. Both trains were amazing and the Orient Express exceeded our dreams. Thank you most sincerely - we are looking forward to our next holiday.

Having been delighted customers for more than 20 years, it meant a great deal to us to plan our first post-pandemic travels with the Steppes team. As always - fantastic advice and support from the whole team, and a total pleasure planning our trip with you. We needed a bit of time to feel ready to go ahead and book, and really appreciated the patience and genuine understanding of Kate and Amy while we got there.

La Fiermontina really was exceptional and we felt completely at home and looked after. Francesca, Stefania, Chiara, Anna-Chiara and Laura were all wonderful.

The team created an incredible last-minute short break for us last year, helping us to rediscover our own doorstep. From rewilding projects to chef's table dining experiences we couldn't have had a better holiday.

The early morning balloon trip was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip, but a trip of so many lovely and varied highlights. The wine tasting was such a lovely surprise and what a great region for wines. Thank you for arranging this. We look forward to our next adventure with Steppes!

We have been on trips all over the world and have chartered yachts many times. This was the best trip and experience we have ever enjoyed. The sights, the yacht, the crew, the food and beverage were top shelf all the time.

Really helpful over the visa hurdles. Couldn't have negotiated the Russian questions without the excellent guide sheet.

The local guides were excellent, both Anahit and Haik as well as our driver Ariak. So please pass our thanks onto them. They had great suggestions, very friendly, very helpful. We had a great time on this trip.
Armenia
Excellent, well-rounded tour of both Armenia and Georgia, which enabled you to compare and contrast the two nations and gave a comprehensive overview of the common heritage.

I called on Friday 5th February and was on the plane, everything in place, on Friday 12th. Steppes are unflappable, reassuring, and thought of everything.
