Autograph Collection debuts in Turkey with Hakan Kiran-designed Sofa Hotel Istanbul

Marriott's Autograph Collection has opened the Sofa Hotel Istanbul in Nişantaşı, a shopping district in Turkey's biggest city.

Designed by Turkish architect Hakan Kiran, the hotel has tranquil interiors that offer a contrast to the city’s bustling streets.

There are 82 guestrooms with custom-designed furniture, bespoke artwork and modern light fittings. The rooms are also decorated in grey tones with splashes of red, mustard and copper throughout. Five suites and a selection of terrace rooms with private balconies offer more space as well as city views. Each guestroom has a marble bathroom with standing shower and separate bathtub.

Located on the first floor, Sofie Restaurant is open 24/7. Meanwhile, Frankie Istanbul is now one of Istanbul’s rooftop destinations. The property also has a bar and lounge area.

Other amenities include the Green Spa, which has a pool, Jacuzzi and Turkish bath.

For events, the property has five meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology, and up to 250 people can be accommodated in the largest space.
