Area info

The W Istanbul is located in the heart of the city, in the center of the restored Akaretler Row Houses.

Formerly known as Byzantium, Constantinople, this city, much like the W, is a dynamic fusion of old meets new. The electric culture and energy of the city can be experienced through the Grand Bazaar, traditional turkish hammams, hookah lounges, contemporary museums and galleries, and chic shopping districts.

Close to the Row Houses, design and local flavor mix together in the wonderful bars and cafes, at the teahouses in lively Besiktas, at the fish market, and along the Galata Bridge.
