Impressions

Great Fortune Hotel & Spa is an excellent choice for travelers looking for comfort and luxury during their holiday in Istanbul. The hotel's prime location, coupled with its world-class amenities, make it the perfect home away from home. To ensure that you enjoy your vacation to the fullest, I recommend staying for at least seven days.

During your stay, you will get a chance to visit some of Istanbul's most iconic landmarks, which are located near the Great Fortune Hotel & Spa. You can start your exploration by visiting the Serpent Column, which is just 0.70 km away. The column is a unique ancient sculpture that was originally part of a Greek sacrificial tripod, and it stands at the Hippodrome of Constantinople. You can also visit the TGC Press Media Museum, which is only 0.50 km away, and learn more about Turkey's media history.

After exploring the Serpent Column and the TGC Press Media Museum, you can take a short walk to the Cagaloglu Hamami, Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamami, and Historic Areas of Istanbul, all of which are located only 0.70 km away from the hotel. These historic sites are a testament to Istanbul's rich cultural heritage, and they offer a glimpse into the city's past. Finally, you can explore the famous Suleymaniye Mosque, which is 2.11 km away, and witness the stunning Ottoman architecture that has made Turkey one of the most visited countries in the world. With all these incredible landmarks nearby, you'll definitely want to stay for as long as possible at Great Fortune Hotel & Spa to fully experience the city of Istanbul.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was absolutely perfect - it was literally right next to the tram station and so close to all the sights. I could easily walk to the blue mosque and haggia Sophia, both of which were just 100m from the hotel. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch, and the facilities were great. I especially enjoyed the free indoor swimming pool, sauna, and steam rooms. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Their hospitality was definitely one of the best aspects of this hotel.
