About

Ishakpasa Palace By Joyway Hotels

Ishakpasa Palace By Joyway Hotels occupies a restored Ottoman konak in the heart of Sultanahmet, just a 5-minute walk from Gulhane Park and close to Topkapi Palace. The 5-star property is adults-only, offering a quiet retreat after a day of sightseeing, with a traditional hammam, open-air bath, and massage treatments on-site.

The interiors blend period character with modern touches — parquet floors, soundproofed rooms, and flat-screen TVs. Each room is air-conditioned with a mini-bar, and some have balconies facing the sea. The hotel serves breakfast and dinner in its restaurant, with a bar and snack bar for lighter bites, and can arrange airport shuttles and tours.
