Pera Bosphorus Hotel
The staff was incredibly helpful. More than that really. They arranged all of my airport transport. They booked and transported us to dinner , a full day tour of Istanbul and a Turkish bath. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Our room was clean. The view is incredible.

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
Excellent hotel and great courteous service. My only peeve is that though it is a nice area but at 3/4 of a kilometer away from shopping areas.
