Plus, a nifty working desk with its own lamp, wood parquet floors, and a freebie bottle of water await you.

Food & Drink

Choices galore! Grab a cuppa at the café, sip on something snazzy at the bar, or dine à la carte for lunch and dinner at the restaurant. Wake up to a smashing breakfast buffet. The Sophia Pita Lounge is just the spot to chill with a view of the Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia.
