Orient Express Hotel, Istanbul

The hotel is located in what was Istanbul’s old city centre, the historic area of Sirkeci, which is also the terminus for the South Eastern (also known as Oriental) long distance passenger train service to Europe. With views of the Bosphorus and Hagia Sofia, the hotel’s restaurant, Imbat, serves a variety of Mediterranean cuisine, while the bar area provides a relaxing atmosphere to sit and enjoy drinks at sunset after a day wandering around the city.
