More than a hotel, Eresin Hotels Sultanahmet is a museum that invites guests to discover Istanbul’s history from within. Located on the city’s historic peninsula, this boutique hotel brings together archaeological remains, works of art, and architectural elements spanning centuries of civilisation, naturally integrated throughout its spaces.
The journey begins in the lobby, where the remains of an ancient cistern are preserved, and continues among artefacts from the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods, references to the Ottoman era, and reproductions of the renowned Iznik tiles. The collection is complemented by 168 works by Turkish artist Gültekin Çizgen, depicting scenes from everyday life in Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire.
Its location in Sultanahmet allows this journey to continue beyond the hotel, with Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the Hippodrome all within walking distance. At Eresin Hotels Sultanahmet, staying in Istanbul and discovering its history become part of the same experience, shaped by the city’s art, archaeology, and heritage.
