Our 4 star Istanbul hotel is located in the historic peninsula of Istanbul with views of two of the great masterpieces of world architecture; the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque...

Modern comfort and convenience are discreetly incorporated into the interior and exterior design of our central Istanbul hotel, enhancing its historical atmosphere. Within the first month of 2009 we thoroughly renewed the hotel building that was put into service in 1994, so that the authentic feautures and advanced technologies were combined in line with our guests' demands.
The name of the Armada Hotel is a tribute to the memory of the renowned Ottoman Admiral Hayrettin Pasha Barbarossa. Period engravings throughout the hotel provide an insight into Istanbul’s by-gone eras.
