In the heart of Istanbul’s old town district of Sultanahmet, on a quiet side street near the Hippodrome and the Hagia Sofia, you’ll find the Ibrahim Pasha. This 4 star hotel is named after the famous Grand Vizier, whose palace now houses the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art.
First class with a personal touch
Guests staying at this small hotel feel instantly at home thanks to its unique mix of classical modernism and local color. The lobby with its leather couches, open fireplace and lots of books is as cozy as a living room. Richly patterned cushions, little tea tables and a fascinating collection of vintage black and white photographs give the whole place its personal touch.
Rooms at the Hotel Ibrahim Pasha
The rooms are not huge but they have been beautifully decorated and are really quiet. Here, too, you’ll find a delightful mix of design classics and oriental accents. Hand-woven rugs are laid on refurbished hardwood floors, ornate armchairs are complemented by little tea tables and the bathrooms feature lots of marble and elegant Cubist wash basins.
Roof terrace overlooking the Blue Mosque
Aside from the lobby and the bright breakfast room with lavish all-morning buffet, the highlight is the roof terrace. Surrounded by a sea of minarets, guests can enjoy the magnificent views of the Blue Mosque and Marmara Sea. If you like you can also order a drink from the well-stocked bar.
