Fodor's Expert Review Park Hyatt Istanbul–Maçka Palas

A restored, Italian-style, art deco, 1922 apartment building offers spacious, elegant rooms decked out in sleek walnut with modern amenities alongside old-fashioned touches like period chandeliers and black-and-white photographs of Istanbul. Bathrooms have rain showers, free-standing tubs, and heated stone floors, and 25 "spa rooms" also have steam rooms and Turkish baths. The sophisticated lobby has a chic bar with a wine cellar showcasing a wide range of Turkish and international wines.
