"From a block of abandoned row houses built in 1875 by Sultan Abdülaziz, to a stylish Starwood-branded W Hotel targeting the young, hip, and yes, even club-going set." Full review

"Istanbul is fast becoming Europe's capital of cool, and its hip-o-meter certainly clocked up a couple more notches with the April 2008 opening of the W in the unlikely... neighborhood of Beşiktaş."
Fodor's
"An 1870s Ottoman block of row houses has been restored and enhanced with posh ultramodernity—sexy lighting, chic East-meets-West decor, and cool amenities." Full review
Insight Guides

"The 134-room W Istanbul delivers on all the hallmarks of the W brand: Trendy decor, excellent dining, and happening nightlife." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The W Lounge is a bit heavy on the self-consciously hip trance music, but its mojitos are the best in the city; Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Spice Market restaurant is justifiably popular." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"With a great location close to Nisantasi... the W is housed in the historical Row Houses, erected in 1875 as accommodation for the high officers of the Ottoman Empire."
Time Out
"This stylish hotel is in the center of Akaretler, surrounded by cafes and design galleries. The W features 2 restaurants, a modern gym and a day spa." Full review
Star Service
"Housed inside buildings that were previously derelict, The W Istanbul is a superb example of urban revival." Full review

Avoid rooms on the lowest floors as they have little view since the position of the building leaves them feeling as if they are underground.

"Features an entry lounge with an "interactive art installation" mixing lights, mirrors, and video installations...and a traditional Turkish-style hammam in the W Spa." Full review

"A fastidiously restored 56-room inn and part-time cultural center (plays and dance performances are sometimes held here) in Galata, the buzzy hood on Istanbul's European side." Full review
Frommer's
"Adahan has a general air of chic elegance. Spacious, airy, and laid back, it makes a good upmarket option for those uncomfortable with the lavish opulence of some of its counterparts." Full review
Fodor's
"An elegant apartment building from 1874 has been lovingly restored by architect-owner Sedat Sırrı Aklan and turned into a charming boutique hotel where no two rooms are exactly alike." Full review
