Hotel Overview
Enjoying a very central location just on the edge of old Istanbul, the Grand Star Hotel welcomes guests with a variety of services and amenities not commonly found in a city-centre hotel. These include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and poolside bar (chargeable), as well massage facilitites and hairdressing salon. Rooms overlooking the Bosphorus offer minibar, safe, satellite TV, air-conditioning (centrally controlled) and a free Wi-fi connection as standard. Additional facilities include The Panorama Bar which is a great place to unwind (as the name suggests, the bar ofers fabulous panoramic views of the Bosphorus), and the hotel restaurant which tempts guests with its selection of traditional Turkish and international dishes. Anybody looking for a spot of shopping, will be pleased to know that Istanbul's popular, pedestrianised Istiklal Street is no more than a 5 minute walk away. Together with its retail outlets, Istiklal Street is also a great place for those in search of bars, clubs, entertainment or good, freshly-prepared local cuisine (just visit the Fish Restaurant area!).
