"Maybe it's hip because it's a pioneer -- Siraselviler Avenue used to be a bit dicey, but it's now very close to having a clean bill of health."

You can choose from cereals, pastries and Turkish favorites — sesame-covered simit, goat cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives and yogurt — ask the waiter for Turkish tea and eggs made to order.
"One of a fast-sprouting crop of boutique hotels around town, this self-consciously hip place has 35 attractive rooms of varying sizes, all of which are individually decorated and full of amenities."

"Probably the only Four Seasons in a prison, and one of the smallest in the chain, but there's nothing confining about this 65-room hotel."
"A former prison just steps from Topkapı Palace and Aya Sofya is now one of Istanbul's premier accommodations, where rooms and suites are luxuriously outfitted."
