    Birthday treat next year in Istanbul. Any hotel recommendations, please? It will be through BAH so status irrelevant…

    Thank you

    There really is a lot of choice.
    What are your essential requirements?

    I know – that’s why I’m struggling! Nice view, good location for eating out, museums etc. Looking at the Conrad (the OH fancies the FS but I think that’s a bit topping), the Hilton. Is there an independent jewel I’m overlooking?

    FS would certainly be dream topping!

    How about Pera Palace? Agatha Christie, pool and great location!

    Hilton Bosporus was rubbish

    My recommendation would be pick something like from the Marriott brand

    Just been to Istanbul for 2 days…traffic mad. Blue Mosque under renovation inside so didn’t see what I suspect is marvellous decoration, only snippets. hagiasophia and topkapi palace were very busy . Loved the carpets and rugs, such beautiful designs . Cant help with hotels… we were on a ship. Enjoy your trip….I’m not going back!

    The Conrad certainly delivers on the view if you get a room with a proper Bosphorus view. View from the rooftop bar is great too, but you’re not short of bars with good views in Istanbul.
