Light, bright, spacious, minimal interior great to spend time in just reading a book on the sofa with the breeze coming in through the blinds. But outside, too many cafes and restaurants to choose from and a fabulous home made ice cream parlour, and if you go to the Juicery, be warned, you'll be in there everyday. Cihangir is an international area, as delightful as staying in the East Village in New York or Belleville in Paris. There are edgier, more marginal places to stay in Istanbul, but this is comfortable, high-end metropolitan, whatever the purpose of your visit you'll feel like you're on vacation everyday.
