A 98-room, 10-floor city hotel on Süleyman Seba Caddesi in Akaretler, a short walk from Dolmabahçe Palace, Maçka Park and Nişantaşı. Location, cleanliness and sleep quality are its strengths; there is no pool or on-site parking, and breakfast is modest and not always included.

• Gym
• Meeting rooms
• Business centre

• Rail transit 747 m
• Outdoor pool
• Indoor pool

• Spa

Canopy by Hilton Istanbul Taksim is the brand's first hotel in Türkiye, opened in December 2025 on Tarlabaşı Boulevard as part of the Taksim 360 regeneration project, about 300 m from Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue. It is a 110-room boutique-scale city hotel with free parking, a gym, sauna and a wine bar inside a 150-year-old cistern, but no pool; street-facing rooms pick up traffic and nightlife noise, so ask for a courtyard-facing room if you are a light sleeper.

• Indoor pool
• Spa
• Turkish bath
