Scene
Attractive hotel with extravagant furnishings and large rooftop terrace
Flowers hanging over balcony rails adorn the facade of the
Karakoy Port Hotel, while gold details and red velvety curtains in the windows hint at the
opulent decor inside. The classically styled lobby features Victorian furniture and palatial details like a chandelier suspended from a ceiling rich with decorative crown molding, plush red drapes, and an Ottoman rug covering the tiled floor. The
breakfast room has a more modern feel with sleeker tables and chairs.
Wrap-around windows offer panoramic sea views. Weather permitting, guests can
also dine on a huge rooftop terrace with tables and chairs surrounded by short brick
walls, offering scenic views over rooftops and the water.

stop within a five-minute walk. It’s a 15-minute walk to bustling Istiklal
Avenue as well as Galata Tower and its historic area. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia
