Located at the heart of Istanbul's historical peninsula, surrounded by the ancient city walls and with views of two of of the most magnificent masterpieces of world architecture, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, with a uniqe experience.

Open for service since 1994, the building was constructed on the site of a series of row houses which were built for the marine soldiers of the famed Ottoman Admiral Hayrettin Pasha (Barbarossa) in the 16th century. In reconstructing the building old engravings depicting the houses were used as the houses themselves were completely demolished during a fire and Armada was designed to the facade architecture of its original. Elements of modern comfort and convenience have been carefully blended into the historical atmosphere both in the exterior and in the interior design.The hotel features Armada Sera restaurant and Reis and Levent conference rooms. Hotel Armada has created a different kind of atmosphere in the ancient district of Ahirkapi, setting a successful example to the restoration of more historical buildings in the area, which are one by one being returned back to life. With new and different locations such as Armada Garden, Sabahattin The Fisherman, Ahirkapi Pastry Shop and Alafranga Restaurant, Armada has set a contemporary example of the cluster model, which is deeply rooted in the traditional Turkish urban architecture.[less]
