Welcome to the Aristocrat Hotel, one of the choice hotels in old city Istanbul. If you are wondering where to stay in Istanbul, it's the Aristocrat Hotel.  The Aristocrat Hotel is at the center of modern day Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire of yesteryear. Built on the most important of seven hills that are the foundation of the Istanbul peninsula, this area – and our hotel – was once home to aristocrats who advised the sultan and other dignitaries always arriving for state business and royal entertainment at the nearby Topkapi Palace. Stay in our hotel, and you’ll be residing in a place that was once home to these aristocrats who were integral to the success of the Ottoman Empire.
