Sofitel Istanbul Taksim

Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★★

Sofitel Istanbul Taksim is a 202-room hotel a few steps from Taksim Square in Beyoğlu, opened in November 2019 on the site of the historic Maxim nightclub. A modern block sits behind the preserved façade, with 33 suites, a Club Millésime lounge, an indoor-pool spa with hammam and a rooftop bar. İstiklal Avenue, Cihangir and the Taksim metro are all within a short walk; the trade-off is street and square noise, so upper and rear-facing rooms matter if you want to sleep well.
