Sophia Blue

From Byzantine churches to Ottoman palaces, historic baths and mosques, the Old City of Istanbul is brimming with cultural treasures. And just a short walk from the Golden Horn, this apartment makes the perfect setting to pause and relax amidst your city adventures.

Open the door and you’ll find a refreshingly simple space dedicated to bringing comfort and ease to your stay. From the minimalist furnishings and natural tones to the light and bright ambience, this is the kind of home that feels like a blank canvas – inspiring you to make it your own. So whether you’re admiring the atmospheric rooftop views or preparing a light bite in the kitchen, there’s everything you could need for a fulfilling city stay. And to ensure you experience the height of relaxation there’s also a shared roof terrace – providing the perfect spot for sunset drinks.

From here, days can be spent weaving your way along the cobbled streets of Balat and Fener, admiring the ancient city walls, getting lost in bazaars and treating your senses to the ultimate hammam experience.
