The impressive Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul 5*, Curio Collection by Hilton is a collection of individual mansions in the heart of the Old Town. Situated between the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, the hotel has an unrivalled location and rich history, dating back to the nineteenth-century.
Reflecting the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire, the rooms are adorned with intricate mosaics, and ornate chandeliers descend from high ceilings. The traditional marble bathrooms each contain their own miniature hammam, and delicately carved furniture teamed with sumptuous fabrics fill the rooms.
Sip on a glass of Turkish tea in the leafy courtyard paired with a light apéritif as dusk settles in, and spend your days luxuriating in the spa.
