The Bank Hotel Istanbul

Situated at the foot of the Camondo Stairs, which lead up to Galata, The Bank Hotel Istanbul is within an old bank, whose original vaults still exist as the hotel's wine cellar.

The lounge is also the hotel's laid-back restaurant, where excellent food is served with pristine service.

Rooms are on the smallish side but all have vintage decor, high ceilings and top-of-the-range modern amenities. There is a small gym on the lower floor.
