InterContinental Istanbul by IHG
Our stay was comfortable. The breakfast was varied, delicious, healthy, and served in a large beautiful dining room. Our room was ample and serviced every day--the towels were fresh and fluffy. The location is good, right near Taksim and lots of transportation. We would stay there again.
