Worth getting out of bed for
The city’s best shopping is on your doorstep (there’s a two-storey Prada store beneath your bedroom for a start, and Louis Vuitton’s across the road). Turkish brand Vakko (+90 (0)212 248 5011) has an outpost on Abdi Ipekci Caddesi, and Taji (+90 (0)212 296 5073) is the finest tailor around. Catch up on some culture at Istanbul’s Museum of Modern Art (+90 (0)212 334 7300), or head to Bebek for a St Tropez-style promenade.
Local restaurants
Authentic Turkish home-cooking awaits at Hunkar (+90 (0)212 225 4655; www.hunkar.com.tr); the sovereign begendili kebab is as fit for royalty as its name suggests. We’re also fans of the Ottoman-style yoghurt-covered kebab at Park Samdan (+90 (0)212 225 0710; parksamdan.com). For Italian dishes in a bustle-free garden, head to Grissini (+90 (0)212 343 1297).
Local cafés
Brunch, lunch and a load of international gourmet goodies are on offer at Delicatessen (+90 (0)212 225 0604; www.delicatessenistanbul.com). The hotel’s House Café (+90 (0)212 259 2377; www.thehousecafe.com) outpost has a mouthwatering menu and a buzzing alfresco atmosphere. The veranda at Den Café (+90 (0)212 224 2470; www.den-cafe.com) is the perfect pitch for a mid-morning coffee.
