The Stay Nisantasi
She's in fashion
Nouveau Nisantasi neighbourhood
Boutique hotel The Stay Nisantasi brings a little German flavour to Istanbul, with its Bauhaus-revering interiors, courtesy of design firm Autoban. A neutral palette of taupe, cream and mink makes it a restful space, and you can add a dash of colour with the dramatic outfits you’ve bought in the local boutiques. Some of the suites have terraces, with the Bosphorus sparkling in the distance from higher floors. The Art Nouveau exterior blends in seamlessly with the stylish surrounds, which include fashionista-favoured cafés, buzzy bars and refined neighbourhood restaurants.

Our Favourite Rooms
For some outside space in a hot, hectic city, it’s got to be a ‘with terrace’ room: go for a Terrace Deluxe Suite or Terrace Junior Suite, roll back the fully retractable windows and enjoy the Nisantasi views. Top tip: if you want to throw in a glimpse of the Bosphorus, request a room on the seventh floor. Enjoy.

You can leave your so-last-season Prada behind and stock up on the newest looks at the boutique downstairs.

Pilates, yoga and other fitness classes are occasionally held in the gym.

Código de vestimenta
Bust out that day’s shopping purchases, or go rogue in high street.
Hotel Restaurant
There are so many places to eat in the neighbourhood that the hotel has gone for more of a laidback-lounge feel rather than a full restaurant, with a simple, straightforward menu of both Turkish and global faves. Expect California-inspired quinoa salads, chicken schnitzels, teriyaki beef and offbeat-but-it-works salmon and avocado pizza. Breakfast is a spread of cereals and fresh fruit, with eggs and organic bacon cooked to order.
Hotel Bar
There’s a bar that’s part of the restaurant, library and lounge hybrid where you can enjoy a wine, whisky or cocktail.
Last Orders
Breakfast is served from 7.30am to 11am. Food is available in the library lounge until 9pm. The bar opens at 5pm and calls time at 10pm.
Room Service
Anything on the full restaurant menu can be dialled up to your room if you like.
Planes
Istanbul Airport is a 45-minute drive from the hotel. It’s also an option to touch down at the city’s Sabiha Gokcen Airport, from where it’s an hour by car to the Stay. Hotel transfers from either hub cost €99 each way, plus tax.
Trains
The nearest Metro station is Osmanbey – a 10-minute walk away – on the M2 line.
Automobiles
The Nisantasi neighbourhood is around a 15-minute drive from Istanbul’s old city. There’s no parking at the hotel, so you’ll be best off sticking to cab and Metro rides.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
As you may have guessed, the hotel is in Istanbul’s Nisantasi neighbourhood, which is notably chic and glamorous thanks to its prevailingly designer stores. Pop downstairs to Prada, or check out Turkish heroes like Rifat Ozbek, who also has a boutique nearby. Board a boat and cruise down the Bosphorus, or eat your way around the city on a Culinary Backstreets tour. To see colourful houses that make Notting Hill look muted, head to the Balat neighbourhood and prepare to taste the rainbow. For a (sedate) day rave on an island, sail across to Sedef Adasi and take residence on a Elio Sedef beach-club sunlounger. Check out the impressive collection and interesting exhibitions on display at the Istanbul Modern, a 15-minute drive from the hotel.
