Gulhane Park - a heavenly holiday
Four advantages of hotels in Istanbul, located close to Gulhane Park
Istanbul is a huge city, where everyone finds a place to relax to his taste. Brilliant, always crowded Taksim or historical Sultanahmet, quiet Asian areas or modern European Pera and Beyoglu... The choice is huge. But when you try to choose, remember what Istanbul was famous for back in the days when the sultans ruled both in it and in the vast Ottoman Empire. Parks and the Bosphorus! Bliss in the shady groves on the banks of the Bosphorus and magnificent views - this is what was considered a privilege for sultans and nobles. Today it is a pleasure available to everyone. Especially for those who select hotels in Istanbul next to Gulhane Park. Here’s why.
Park
Gulhane Park is a place that was chosen in the Ottoman Empire by the sultan and his courtiers. This park adjoins the Topkapi Palace, and once only noble people could walk there. Today Gulhane Park is open to the public. Here you will see hundreds of exotic plants, hear the twitter of exotic birds, walk along clean, neat paths and rest near one of the three fountains at the beginning of the park. A little further - if you walk straight on - you will see why the sultans have ordered to lay out a park. This is...
Bosphorus
One of the sides of Gulhane Park faces directly the Bosporus. The refreshing sea breeze blows here in summer, and the views of the Bosphorus from Gulhane Park are so beautiful that there are lots of artists constantly working there. The vicinity to the Bosphorus has long defined the price of real estate in Istanbul. Therefore, hotels near Gulhane Park were expensive - though not for tourists, but for building owners.
Budget
Gulhane Park is located in the district of Sultanahmet. This means that most hotels in the park have three stars and are accessible to any tourist. The advantage of the local hotels is in the fact that they literally cling to the old wall that separates Gulhane Park from the district; therefore choosing a hotel here means you will live practically inside the Gulhane Park.
Location
Of course, Gulhane Park is a real attraction, but don’t forget that just a few meters away there are Topkapi Palace and the Archaeological Museum, Yerebatan underground reservoir, Saint Sophia and Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and Sirkeci train station. Living in a hotel near Gulhane Park means to live in the middle of history and nature!
