Tomtom Suites

A lovingly restored former convent, Tomtom Suites - The Old Franciscan House is a chic boutique hotel with 20 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.
