About us

Located at the heart of Istanbul's historical peninsula with views of two of the most magnificent masterpieces of world architecture, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, Armada Hotel offers a unique experience to the guests. Elements of modern comfort and convenience have been carefully blended into the historical atmosphere both in the exterior and in the interior design. The Armada’s 108 rooms, decorated in the Ottoman style are a graceful blend of past and present and offer all modern amenities. Have you ever thought about 2,300 square meters of the historic peninsula for your meetings? Armada has five meeting rooms, a spectacular Terrace for those special occasions and a multi-purpose “Armada Salon”. You can enjoy the Sea of Marmara and dock at our Ahırkapı Quay; the traditional offerings we present with street vendor carts; our rooms surrounded by the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque) and the Islands; the “Guest Lounge” that visitors can use as a bar or rest area; our Terrace and our breakfast buffets… to spice up any of your productive meetings held in our multi-purpose meeting rooms.
