Modern luxury in the historical city centre

Radisson Hotel President Beyazit Istanbul, meanwhile, is close to the centre of old Istanbul, which abounds with historic sites and cultural attractions including museums, churches, palaces, mosques and bazaars.

The hotel features 201 modern rooms and suites, plus five onsite restaurants and bars offering international as well as local Turkish dishes, which should satisfy even the most discerning palates. Guests can exercise to a backdrop of stunning seascapes in the modern fitness centre and refuel in the health club after a busy day of exploring.

Radisson continues to expand rapidly in Turkey; currently, 30 hotels and over 4,500 rooms are in operation and under development, but the company’s plan is to grow this to more than 50 hotels and 10,000 rooms within the next three to five years. The group is also one of the leading hotel operators in Istanbul, with 16 properties in total.
