Istanbul - it’s THE destination on everyone’s lips and on adventurous travelers’ itineraries. There is so much to see and do - and fortunately, it is still one of Europe’s most reasonably-priced destinations. For a great hotel at a great price, consider the Hotel Büyük Keban. We are a three-star hotel with four-star hospitality and services, with a fantastic central location to match. All the marvelous attractions of Istanbul’s Historic Peninsula are just steps away: the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, the Sultanahmet Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace, the Gulhane Park, the Basilica Cistern, the Süleymaniye Mosque and the Beyazit Tower - along with, of course, the breathtaking views across the Bosphorus, and exquisite tastes awaiting you at many a marvelous restaurant.
Explore the Best of Istanbul Just Outside Your Hotel
Stay with us where the action is - just 50 meters out the door of the Hotel Büyük Keban is the beautiful and world-renowned Sehzade Camii mosque, and all around the neighborhood is a bustling textile and shopping district. The Yerebatan Sarnici, or Basilica Cistern, is but a short jaunt away - an architectural marvel constructed nearly one-and-a-half millenia ago by Roman Emperor Justinian to meet the city’s water needs. What’s more, the byzantine maze of markets that comprise the legendary Great Bazaar is just nearby.
Other must-sees on the Historical Peninsula include the Topkapi Palace, which the Ottoman Sultans called home for nearly half a millenium. Just another few hundred meters towards the water is the exquisite cerulean-tiled Sultan Ahmed Mosque, as are the iconic and distinctive minarets of the Hagia Sophia, the patriarchal basilica turned Roman Catholic cathedral turned mosque turned museum. The Hagia Sophia is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture, and its construction is often said to have altered the history of architecture. For nearly 500 years, it was the principal mosque of Istanbul and served as a model for many mosques to follow.
