Picolo recommends · Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey
Park Hyatt Istanbul Maçka Palas
Behind the bathroom door waits your own marble hammam, warm stone bench and brass fittings included, so the steam is yours alone.
Many rooms here come with their own Turkish bath: a marble hammam with a warm bench and brass taps, where you can steam and scrub without sharing the space with strangers. It is the detail that makes guests return.
The hotel fills an art deco building in Nişantaşı, the neighbourhood of Istanbul’s priciest boutiques and some of its best restaurants. It is not large, and it feels more like a private apartment building than a grand hotel.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Park Hyatt Istanbul Maçka Palas
We chose it for calm and for the bathrooms. You get a quiet, polished hotel with excellent food within a few steps, in one of the most comfortable parts of the city.
Nişantaşı is about half an hour on foot or a short taxi from Taksim, and further still from Sultanahmet. Anyone hoping to stroll to the monuments, or hoping for a view, should book elsewhere.
