Orient Express Hotel

The Orient Express Hotel is located within walking distance of the major historically-significant destinations Istanbul has to offer including the Basilica Cistern, St. Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. It is also located near Sirkeci Train Station, once the drop off point for the train from which the hotel takes its name. The Orient Express Hotel may not be accessible by its namesake train any longer but is only a roughly half-hour's drive from Ataturk International Airport and close to public transport.

The rooms at the Orient Express Hotel are designed for comfort and provide an array of modern amenities. Wireless Internet access, satellite television, minibars, private baths and direct-dial telephone service are universally-offered. There is a restaurant on site and room service available for those who prefer to dine in their rooms. There is a bar, themed after the Orient Express, which offers cocktails.

The Orient Express Hotel takes its name from the famous train which was once so much a part of this city. It is among the Istanbul hotels that emphasize the history of the city in both its location and its décor. The hotel offers amenities, both of the generally-expected sort and those which flow from a luxury aesthetic.
