Banu-which do you prefer?

Dear Pattysuericia,

I would prefer Hillside beach club in Fethiye.It is my favourite.
Hillside Water Hotel is a design hotel.I haven't stayed there yet but a friend of mine liked it very much.The colour of the hotel is white and full with mirrors and small aquariums with orange fishs.Each terrace of the room has a bed and you can sleep listening to the sound of the waves.(you check the hotel also at:www.designhotels.com)
I select for you the opening paragraph:
Reflections
Imagine a place of purity, where serene, crisp white connects with flashes of fiery red and mysterious black. Underscored by an ambience of passion and perfection, Hillside Su will be a dynamic, inspirational haven. An environment that encourages exploration and inner freedom, inviting you to revel in your own individuality. Look in the seductively designed mirrors and glass surfaces and see yourself in a different way, regenerating in the Hillside Su?s aura of drive and energy. Bask under the Mediterranean sun in an open world of subtle messages and human communication. Talk, meet, imagine and live. Simply be. ...

I've read that the 9,5th floor of the hotel has a special suit:400m2 and really luxorius, but 4000$/night?
Wherever you go-hillside-you'll love eating any kind of food but mostly the deserts and the stuff working there is helpful and kind.
Hillside Ma beach Hotel:I have no idea but sure worth to stay at.
Enjoy every moment you'll spend there..

If you are looking for a small, interesting, kind of quirky, hotel in Sultanahmet, the Kybele is one of the most interesting places you could pick. And reasonable. Worth every penny.
If you want history...the Pera Palas in Taksim...when Agatha Christy's body was found, she had a key from that hotel on her. It was also Hemmingway's favorite. Don't miss the Greek Orthodox Church in Taksim...that's the official seat of the church, residence of the patriarch.
For those venturing to the coast, keep in mind, if you are heading to Bodrum, you are heading to one of the world's best party towns....there are more bars than restaurants...and a great place to catch a Blue Cruise.
