Frommer's Exceptional

The Marmara is an excellent choice for those traveling for business or pleasure, particularly for its towering location above central and bustling Taksim Square. In fact, the hotel got so popular that they opened a second one, The Marmara Pera, down the street. The Taksim Square hotel's got everything necessary for an exclusive and pampered visit to Istanbul, including spacious bathrooms and spectacular views. The recently renovated Club Floor specifically pampers business travelers with 24-hour floor supervision, complimentary breakfast, and in-room fax and coffee service. The Pera property, meanwhile, in spite of its 200 rooms, feels like a boutique property, as spaces are kept to manageable scale and the decor is understatedly trendy.
