The Byzantium Hotel

The Byzantium Hotel is located on Akbiyik Street within walking distance of such historical and major city sights as St. Sophia (Aya Sophia / Hagia Sophia), The Blue (Sultanhamet) Mosque, The Cistern Basilica (Yerebatan Cistern), Topkapi Palace, The Grand Bazaar (Kapalicarsi) and Misir Carsisi. Once described as the Way of Kings, Akbiyik Street is an ancient road used by empirical leaders as a route into the Old City and its palaces, divides the historical peninsula down the middle and leads guests directly from the hotel into the heart of Sultanahmet.
