Hovagimyan Hotel and Suites

Hovagimyan Hotel and Suites is one of the newer establishments in Istanbul that aims to offer more than just a nice room. The venue combines a hotel, restaurant and bar into a place where you don’t just sleep, but can easily spend a significant part of the day. The atmosphere is modern and urban, yet not overly contrived. The public areas in particular create the feeling of a townhouse rather than a traditional hotel. The hotel also includes the Sen’den restaurant, which quickly becomes the heart of the establishment. Guests sit here for breakfast, later for dinner, or simply meet up for a drink. Then there’s the rooftop bar, which offers views over the rooftops of Istanbul and is exactly the sort of place that gradually fills up as evening falls. Down below, the hustle and bustle of the city; up above, a little more distance from it all. It is precisely this blend that makes the hotel so appealing. You can start your day right in the heart of Istanbul, yet still have a place to which you can happily retreat from time to time. A Smart Travelling favourite, where everything is just right.
