The hotel's location is great for a walking tour of the city center, enjoying variety of restaurants and coffee shops, hopping on a boat ride, shopping for authentic food items and so on. The parking situation is a bit complicated though as the hotel's front door is on the pedestrian zone. However, hotel offers valet service, which you would need and also when arriving better call the hotel for instructions on how to arrive as navigation may be tricky. There's a nice chain restaurant (Emirgan Sutiş) at the entrance which also provides the room service. Try the soups. The pub on the premises also looked quite charming but I didn't have a chance to try. The rooms are comfortable, clean and of good size.
