Blue House Hotel has been converted from an authentic Istanbul residence and is an ideal location for those wishing to explore the historical peninsula. Sultanahmet can easily be explored on foot but there is so much more to Istanbul than just this part. For exploring a broader area including the Asian side with its wonderful shopping and entertainment districts and the mighty Bosphorus bridges try for an even bigger bite of this trans-continental city.

Blue House Hotel is located in the heart of Sultanahmet on the historical peninsula just next to the Blue Mosque and old Mosque bazaar. This fabulous location gives tourists a home from home right in amongst all the places that are going to be top of the sight seeing list. Sultanahmet is jam packed with all the major sights of the city and is where you will walk in the footsteps of past conquerers and pass from palace to mosque in search of the traces of sultanate intrigue and Byzantium legacies that they left behind. The cobbled streets of Sultanahmet are peaceful and smell sweetly of nargile (Turkish water pipe) so much so that you would not think you were in the heart of such a vibrant and hectic, modern and European city. Just near to Blue House hotel you can wander around the gardens of the majestic Blue Mosque, sit in the ottoman style cafes and have a cay (tea) or watch the dervishes whirl in the tea house right opposite the hotel. Also nearby is Arasta Bazaar, mosaic museum, archeological museum and Hippodrome park with its historical artefacts. Just around the corner is Aya Sophia (Hagia Sophia/Sancta Sophia) one of the most beautiful buildings in the world right on your doorstep. Just up the road from here along a pleasant cobbled street is the grand entrance to the Topkapi Palace where you can see how the Sultans lived in such magnificence with their stunning collection of jewels and their harem where all the palace gossip was exchanged. Also near is the beautifully preserved cistern basilica and Gulhane Park whose flower lined central avenue leads you to a selection of tea houses right on the waterfront.
