Overview

Built as a bank, The Bank Hotel in Istanbul has been given a slick modern facelift to become its on-the-rise neighbourhood’s cool cultural hub. It’s gained a spa, plenty of elegant decor and an in-house art curator, but kept the stately bank facade (and the imposing vaults that give it its name).

Highlights:

  • Beautiful historic building

  • Cool art-and-culture focus

  • Exciting neighbourhood

Smith extra

A traditional 'evil-eye bead', a box of chocolates, a welcome drink, plus early check-in and late check-out until 2pm (subject to availability)

In the know

Packing tips:

With showstopping views, cutting-edge art and a cool and relatively undiscovered neighbourhood at your disposal, you’d be remiss not to bring your camera; or, maybe your phone will suffice – it’s all infinitely Instagrammable.

Dress code:

You’re in Istanbul’s artiest neighbourhood – go creative rather than couture.

Dining information

Restaurant:

The Lobby Bar & Restaurant serves up Modern Mediterranean dishes – grilled salmon, perhaps, or a simple slice of burrata with tomato carpaccio and balsamic vinegar – below its grand wrought-iron chandeliers; hotel guests get a 15 per cent discount. For a slightly more sophisticated evening meal, head to Serica Restaurant where each item is curated by Chef Yigit Alicioglu and inspired by the cuisine of the Silk Road. Start with a dry-aged sturgeon before moving on to the saffron-infused truffle rice or honey and garlic-glazed shrimps paired with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

Top Table:

Grab one of the private apple-green upholstered booths, with illuminated and laser-etched glass panels.

Last Orders:

You can breakfast 7am–10.30am (11am on weekends), lunch from noon and dine 6pm–10pm at the Lobby Bar & Restaurant. Dinner at Serica Restaurant is from 6.30pm to midnight; the Bank Roof Bar is open until 2am.

Room Service:

Snacks – burgers, fries, spaghetti and the like – are available whenever you’re peckish, day or night.

Hotel Bar:

Venture up to the hotel's top floor for a hand-shaken cocktail at the Bank Roof Bar, where you're invited to sip a martini and admire sweeping city views. The circular gold bar, with a drinks cabinet set in one of the original bank vaults, is within the restaurant.
