Istanbul

Istanbul (Constantinople) is the only city in the world that bridges two continents. As one tours Sultanahmet and the most beautiful palaces, mosques and churches in the world, the stunning blend of East and West becomes apparent.
This old part of Istanbul, which is the old Byzantium, is surrounded by the original city walls, by the Golden Horn waterway to the north and on the south by the Marmara Sea.
The new Istanbul, north of the Golden Horn, was built at the end 19th century and is now an important business center of Istanbul.
The third section of the city is the Asian side, separated from the European side by the Bosphorus, which flows from the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea. The points of interest in the new Istanbul are many wonderful streets for walking, with great shops as well as art galleries and wonderful local cuisine

A Four Seasons Hotel -Adding more rooms in 2008 and a more spacious Spa area. Courtyard will have addt'l restuarant so watch for more details. It has achieved the top award in Europe for service this year. So again this hotel has stood up to its well known quality. This is a very boutique hotel and for those wanting to be close to all the historical sights, you cannot beat it. The only drawback is that although the views are lovely from the roof terrace for sunsets etc., none of the rooms really have a grand view. But truly, there are so many other places to enjoy the views and Istanbul is busy city so after a full day of sightseeing there is nothing like having this incredible attention to service and those wonderful cushioney chairs or enjoy the drink in your suite or a soak in that big tub.
