Fodor's Expert Review Alp Paşa Boutique Hotel

This hotel—a cluster of restored mansions with a contemporary aesthetic—strikes a great balance between atmosphere and comfort, with tasteful rooms set around two shaded courtyards. One courtyard houses a restaurant, bar, and tiny pool; both feature original wooden columns and various pieces of carved Greek and Roman capitals. Rooms vary considerably in size and quality, but the decor offers a modern twist on classic Ottoman style in the heart of Kaleiçi.
