Perfectly suited to its location above a Prada store on Abdi ?pekçi Caddesi, Istanbul?s answer to Madison Avenue, The House Hotel Ni?anta?? is the second property by café chain pioneers Canan Özdemir and Ferit Baltacioglu. With five floors of lavish forms by Turkish design duo Autoban, the hotel successfully connects fashionistas with the city?s vibrant, east-meets-west shopping scene. Ni?anta??, the area immediately around the hotel, is Istanbul?s most stylish district.

Guests can easily spend the day exploring with a personal shopper who has insider knowledge on local fashion and couture. Those who want to unearth cultural treasures can follow a guide from Locally Istanbul, an exclusive service that connects visitors with experts on art, design and the latest culinary trends. Guests can also enjoy personal pilates sessions in the hotel?s serene studio, housed on the top floor and offering direct sea view. International and Turkish flavors combine at the restaurant?s alfresco tables, which attract well-to-do locals and lead into a charming, bistro-like lobby lounge. A true boutique hotel, this homely city hideaway has just 34 elegantly paneled rooms, plus 10 suites offering views across Ni?anta???s chic cafés and bars. Organic amenities and attentive service add the finishing touches to a hotel that has, understandably, been ranked among the best in the world.
