Home Hotels Sultanhan Hotel

Sultanhan Hotel

Add to wishlist Contact us

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

What an incredible week! As ever, expertly organised with some surprises thrown in. Thank you to the team for pulling out all the stops so last minute!

Brian - Steppes Travel

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.

Steppes Travel - Mrs Leading

Overall another amazing trip from Steppes Travel. We saw so many different sights and had so many new experiences. Would always highly recommend Steppes.

Steppes Travel

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!

Turkey

Guides knowledge excellent and he left no stone unturned! The driver was excellent. Between them, they made our holiday.

Eastern Turkey

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.

Turkey - Cruise

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

Russia

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.

Armenia

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.

Armenia

One chat with Joe and the trip was on. His personal experience was invaluable.
