Sofa Hotel Istanbul, Turkish

When renowned Turkish architect Sinan Kafadar built Istanbul’s Sofa Hotel, he had something bigger in mind than just an average boutique property. His creation is a mash-up of chic atmosphere, ultra-modern technology, extraordinary service and celebrated art gallery – a true gem of the local hotel scene, dressed in minimalist chic with hints of Ottoman flair.

Of course, The Sofa comes equipped with everything guests have come to expect of a modern luxury hotel: fitness room, pool, sauna, steam room and Turkish bath. In addition, there’s the Sanitas Spa and Wellness Center, where trained experts offer a broad range of facial and body therapies as well as creating personalised detoxification programmes featuring everything from yoga to massage. The hotel also features a Longtable Bar and two restaurants: Café Sofa, where guests can choose from a menu of gourmet international cuisine.

The Sofa’s 65 deluxe rooms and 17 suites come fully outfitted with high-speed wireless Internet, interactive satellite television, video on demand, CD and DVD player, bar setup, rainfall shower, bathtub, pillow menu and, naturally, specially-designed sofa. Their highlight, though, is a 24-hour Anything, Anytime button, which functions precisely as it sounds. Guests can be assured of receiving personalised, no-hold-barred service around the clock. The hotel’s piece de resistance, however, is its penthouse art gallery, Art*8, 300 square metres of indoor space and 350 square metres of outdoor space offering stunning city views.

Down below, the chic Nisantasi neighbourhood in which The Sofa Hotel stands offers galleries, boutiques and restaurants in abundance, so that guests can take advantage of the full vibrancy of Istanbul life. For those looking to host business or social events, the hotel offers 1,700 square metres of conference space divided into several rooms and open areas.

The Sofa Hotel & Residences in Istanbul, Turkey was developed by the well-known Turkish hospitality company, Galataport Istanbul. Galataport Istanbul specializes in the development of high-end hotels, residences, and mixed-use projects. The design of The Sofa Hotel & Residences was led by the renowned Turkish architectural firm, Autoban.
