Hotel-Troya-Balat-2

If you are the kind of person who cares about ambiance and looks for character in their choice of hotels, then look no further than the Hotel Troya Balat for your stay in Istanbul. The boutique hotel is housed inside a Greek-Ottoman building that has scarcely changed in the past 115 years. In 2001, the hotel owners made the decision to preserve and combine 4 Greek-Ottoman dwellings, transforming their turn of the century charm into an alluring hotel for guests to rest and unwind during their time in Istanbul.

Inside the hotel, guests will be transported back 115 years, with each of the 16 guest rooms featuring carved wood ceilings and draping curtains which highlight the large bay windows. Guests will be enthralled by the historic hand paintings on the walls and delighted by the hand-picked, unique antique furniture pieces in each room.

With an ideal location, both close to attractions and only seconds from the calming waters of the Golden Horn’s Fener District, the Hotel Troya Balat is pleased to offer guests the opportunity to stay in a peaceful and historic neighbourhood that is within walking distance of Istanbul’s cultural, trade, and tourist foci.

Step out from your room onto the traditional Istanbul streets of Old Town Istanbul. Only a few steps away from the Hotel Troya Balat’s front door, guests will find themselves in front of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, once the head of all Orthodox Christianity. Other must-see sites are located within a few kilometers of the hotel. Take in the marvellous ceilings of the Hagia Sophia, wander over to the Grand Bazaar to taste Turkish Delight, or see the modern side of the city at Taksim Square without feeling exhausted at the end of the day.
