The Hotel
A former Ottoman residence that dates back to the 17th century, the Best Western Empire Palace Hotel is a veritable jewel in the crown of Istanbul. The establishment keeps things classic with its crimson and gold-hued en suite bedrooms, accented with Turkish carpets, antique-style mirrors and framed paintings of the ancient city. Guests can take in the sights and sounds of the capital on the hotel’s terrace restaurant and bar, or stimulate the senses in the traditional, steam-filled Turkish baths.
Groupon Recommends
Istanbul has a treasure trove of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture at its feet, with hundreds of mosques, churches and galleries to visit. To seek out the most impressive, make your way to Topkapi Palace, the throne of the Ottoman Empire for over three centuries. Delve deeper into the past by setting foot inside the 6th century Haghia Sophia, which has metamorphosed from church to mosque to modern-day museum. Hagglers should head to the bustling Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets, with 5,500-odd vendors selling all manner of traditional Turkish carpets and spices. As night descends over the city, make your way to the the meyhanes of Çiçek Pasaji (Flower Passage) and raise a toast to good times with a glass of raki, traditional Turkish mezes, and some fasil folk music.

The Best Western Empire Palace scored a regal 4/5 stars on TripAdvisor. While some found the rooms on the slightly small side, guests appreciated the comfortable beds and overall cleanliness.
