Overview

Sirkeci is where the Orient Express once terminated and where old Istanbul still breathes most naturally, a district between the Golden Horn and the historic peninsula where Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar are all within a short walk. Best Western Empire Palace occupies this ground with boutique-style rooms, a cocktail lounge and restaurant serving Turkish and international cuisine, and a breakfast that sends guests out well prepared for a morning of extraordinary sightseeing. Guest rooms feature satellite television throughout, and hotel amenities extend to a foreign currency exchange, guest laundry, massage services, and a business centre with meeting space for up to 100 guests. Beyoglu and the Archaeological Museum are close, and the Bosphorus ferries are accessible from the Eminonu waterfront minutes away. For travellers visiting Istanbul's historic peninsula, few locations serve the purpose better than Sirkeci, and this boutique hotel's combination of location, character, and complimentary full breakfast makes it a genuinely considered choice for anyone whose Istanbul is about history first.
