I’m currently in Istanbul for the week, my second visit this year. It’s such a beautiful city with so much to do and see which is why I’m back again.
My favorite place to stay while here is at the Soho House Istanbul. It’s the only Soho House location in the world that I’m aware of where you could stay in without being a Soho House member.
It’s a really beautiful hotel located close to many restaurants and bars but also close to a metro station. The rooms like the rest of the hotel are beautifully designed and have large windows that bring in a lot of daylight. At the end of the day, I tend to retreat to the Soho House Club which is a large mansion next door that once served as the United States Consulate in Istanbul. It can be best described as a really large lounge occupying multiple floors and rooms with a couple of bars, a members-only restaurant, a games room, and usually a DJ playing great music.
The hotel also houses Cecconi’s, the popular Italian restaurant which more people seem to know about than the hotel itself. There really isn’t any other place I’d want to stay in while here so check them out if you’re ever heading to Istanbul sohohouse.com

Stayed there few years ago, and I loved it ..
I’m glad it’s still amazing..
Make sure you are getting Wasted, time to time,
Will be there for the Christmas and New Year period. Any events of interest that are happening around that period?
which more people seem to know about *than* the hotel itself
thanks
You can stay at all soho houses without being a member. Non-members just pay more.
How is the situation in Turkey? Is it safe to be there considering the recent bomb blast (Nov 2022), previous such incidents and recurrent political issues?
yeah everything is normal here
