Perched on the water's edge, only a few steps from the cobblestoned main square of Ortaköy, one of the prettiest Bosphorus neighborhoods, the Radisson's location is unbeatable. It also earns high marks for its rooms and full range of services. The lobby has a clean, sleek look, with a large, atrium-like glass entrance; rooms are modern and comfortable, with Scandinavian design elements and complimentary snacks. Be sure to ask for a room with a Bosphorus view. The hotel's restaurant has a pleasant open-air terrace looking out on the water. Pros: services of a business-class hotel with smaller, more personal feel. Cons: somewhat far from tourist destinations.
