Ceylan Inter-Continental

The central glass-and-marble staircase sets the stage for just the right amount of pomp to cater to this über-luxurious five-star hotel's international clientele. Everything about the hotel, renovated in 2008, is plush and elegant, and even the standard rooms are serviced by a butler. Rooms on the executive floors and in the suites get CD and DVD players, and in-room movies are available in all the rooms via pay-per-view and premium cable. Business travelers will feel like they never left the office (except for those views of the Bosphorus), while spouses can luxuriate in the sublime embrace of the spa.

If you book online, you can get rates as low as 120€, a very appealing possibility when compared to the rates for rooms in Sultanahmet. And it's all just a few steps away from the bustle of Taksim Square.
