… and Taksim Square's shopping and entetainment area.
Istanbul, Turkey's largest city and seaport, is the only city in the world built on two continents, Europe and Asia, and stands on the shores of the Bosphorus where the Black Sea is linked to the Mediterranean by the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn. Retaining a unique link between East and West, it was the former capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires and its eventful history is still in evidence throughout the city. Beautiful palaces stand alongside great mosques with soaring minarets, ancient churches, museums and numerous bazaars.
The oldest part of the city, the Sultanahmet district, is enclosed by the Byzantine city walls and contains many of the Byzantine and Ottoman historic landmarks, Hagia Sophia is one of the finest examples of Byzantine architecture in the world, while the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) is one of the largest mosques in Istanbul, with magnificent blue tiles decorating the interior, and Topkapi Palace, the great palace of the Ottoman sultans with a fascinating harem section.
Istanbul is a divided city, split by the Bosphorus, the narrow channel that separates Europe from Asia. Ironically, the Asian side holds Western-style suburbs, while the European side contains old Istanbul, a wonderland of mosques, opulent palaces, and Byzantine ruins from the city's 16 centuries as a world power.
Hyatt Regency Istanbul reflects the spirit and culture of the magical city of Istanbul, together with the first-rate facilities that you would expect in a five-star Hyatt hotel. Just 20 kilometres from Istanbul's Ataturk Airport and five minutes away from the historic landmarks of the Old City, including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, the hotel is in a spectacular setting overlooking the Bosphorus. The hotel is ideally situated for both the business and leisure traveller, as it is in the heart of the Istanbul's business district and just a short walk from Taksim Square's shopping and entertainment areas.
Hyatt Regency Istanbul offers an elegant and soothing environment for hotel guests to relax. Public areas decorated in marble and countless works of art displayed throughout the hotel, provide guests with an insight into the very best of local culture and the artistic flair and cultural diversity of this fascinating region in which Hyatt Regency Istanbul is set.
