About

About the destination

Istanbul owes its historical significance and its incredible cultural and architectural heritage to its perfect strategic location, straddling the Bosphorus straits which separate Europe and Asia Minor. Throughout most of its 2,500-year-long history, the city (first known as Byzantium, then as Constantinople and since 1930 as Istanbul) was a cultural melting pot. Today, its population of over 13 million is almost exclusively Turkish, and many of its people are recent migrants from provincial Turkey, drawn by the promise of jobs and careers in this vibrant, rapidly growing city. Istanbul is no longer the nation's capital, but is Turkey's economic and cultural powerhouse - a status emphasised by its role as a European City of Culture in 2010 and the award of UNESCO World Heritage listing to many of its most important landmarks, which range from stunning Ottoman mosques and Byzantine churches and catacombs to the columns of Hellenistic temples and the remains of massive medieval city walls. But there's more to Istanbul than Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. A rapidly growing economy has contributed to a thriving arts and music scene, with a wealth of new bars, clubs, private art galleries, restaurants and designer fashion outlets.

A lovingly restored former convent, Tomtom Suites - The Old Franciscan House is a chic boutique hotel with 18 spacious suites hidden away in the consulate district of Istanbul. The smart, contemporary interiors include original works of art, a rooftop terrace bar with views of the Bosphorus, a delightful bistro and a library, all within easy access of the Blue Mosque and Taksim Square. The charm of staying at Tomtom Suites - The Old Franciscan House is the intimate atmosphere achieved by sleek, modern décor combined with beautiful solid wood floors and high ceilings that reflect the building's architectural heritage. Original artworks and stunning Carrera marble bathrooms add to the appeal. It is well worth taking time out for a leisurely ferry cruise along the Bosphorus from Eminonu to see Istanbul's magnificent ancient churches, palaces, fortresses and mosques from this unique perspective. On returning to the hotel, visit the Terrace Bar to watch the sunset as the evening call to prayer reverberates across the city.
