Armada Hotel:
For Anyone Seeking an Authentic
Istanbul Lifestyle in Istanbul!

“If Istanbul had been properly preserved, what would we have today?”

With a spectacular view of the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the two colossal monuments of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture in the heart of the historic peninsula, Armada Hotel has been asking itself this very question ever since its founding in 1994. The answers to this question have shaped what Armada Hotel stands for today. Armada delights anyone searching for true Istanbul culture by resurrecting the lifestyle that makes Istanbul the great city that it is and adapting it to our time.

One of the characteristics that set Armada apart more than anything else is not its peerless view from the Terrace, or its décor, or the sumptuous Istanbul cuisine, it is the people of Armada who make all of this possible. Most of these individuals have been working at Armada since it was first founded and they look out and care for guests without ever being conspicuous because they want them to leave with happy memories and come back.
In recent years, the building’s infrastructure has been refurbished with modern technology, its décor has been updated and now the question is “How can you take advantage of Armada Hotel?” Just like anyone else looking for Istanbul in Istanbul! By dropping in for dinner, by holding your meetings at Armada and by choosing Armada for your accommodations…

Armada not only contributes to the promotion of Istanbul in terms of culture with projects such as the “Hıdrellez Festivals at Ahırkapı” and “Eminönü Walking Paths” and the civil society work that it has pioneered, but it is also restoring the reputation of Ahırkapı, the historic quarter in which it is located, not to mention the fact that protecting the natural environment is also on its agenda with the “Green Hotels” movement.

Armada preserves reserves and serves the Istanbul lifestyle!

After all, its own building is an example of cultural preservation. At one time, the wooden row houses that Barbarossa Hayrettin Pasha had built for his sailors stood where the Armada building is today. Armada was constructed by redesigning these houses.
