Frommer's "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
Concierge "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 hotel is... the last word in stylish modernity, just with a luxurious Ottoman twist."
Oyster Luxury
"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.
Condé Nast Traveler "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

Ask for a room on a lower level, or you may be kept up by noise from the bar on the eighth floor.
Concierge "Overall, the Park Hyatt is a great option for business travelers or those seeking a little indulgence in a classier, less touristy—though still vibrant—part of Istanbul."
Travel + Leisure "Located in the posh neighborhood of Nisantasi and set within two buildings, one of which is a 1922 Neoclassical beauty that houses 90 Art Deco–decorated guest rooms." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "You’ll find no more glamorous neighborhood than Nisantasi, with its Parisian-style cafés, recession-be-damned boutiques, and now a suitably posh hotel." Full review
Star Service "The main reception desk hides away at the rear beside the towering lift shaft. It's an impressive and stylish space, and a choice of Turkish contemporary music adds to the enjoyment of it." Full review
