Lions Royal Hotel

Lions Royal Hotel sits in Istanbul’s historic peninsula, in the Fatih area close to the city’s dense grid of mosques, markets, and tram connections. The hotel presents itself as a newly opened property with 63 rooms, mixing a compact city-hotel format with a broader set of facilities than the name might suggest. Guests can expect a restaurant, lobby bar, spa area, swimming pool, sauna, hammam, and fitness facilities, along with practical services for short city stays. The atmosphere is geared toward travellers who want to be near the old city’s landmarks while staying in a contemporary, self-contained hotel.
