Historic Ottoman Architecture

The Armagrandi Spina is a converted 19th-century house with a wooden exterior featuring Ottoman and Byzantine architectural details. Located in Sultanahmet's historic district, the hotel stands between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Rooms include cable TV, minibars, and private bathrooms with showers or bathtubs. Some rooms offer views of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, or the Sea of Marmara from balconies.

Rooftop Dining with Views

Filarmoni Restaurant, on the rooftop terrace, serves Turkish cuisine with views of the Sea of Marmara, the Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia. The buffet breakfast is served here. The hotel also has a bar/lounge for lunch, dinner, and brunch, along with happy hour specials.

Steps from Major Landmarks

The hotel is 500 meters from Hagia Sophia Museum, Istanbul Archaeology Museums, and Basilica Cistern. Topkapi Palace is steps away. Sirkeci Station is a 10-minute walk, and Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport is 45 km away. The area includes shops, cafés, and historical sites.

Room Amenities & Services

Rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and tea/coffee makers. Some include balconies with city or sea views. The hotel provides 24-hour room service, concierge assistance, and a roundtrip airport shuttle. Safety features include smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.

Onsite Facilities & Extras

The hotel has a garden, two lounges, and a bar. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout. Ironing facilities, air conditioning, and soundproofed rooms are standard. The lobby includes a fireplace, and the hotel offers currency exchange and wheelchair access.

“In my opinion, this converted 19th-century house benefits significantly from its location, a short walk to both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia; views from the rooftop Filarmoni Restaurant are another clear advantage. The hotel's boutique ambiance, enhanced by Art Deco interiors, creates a distinctive experience. I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to explore Istanbul's historic sites.”
