- Available Booking: Rast Hotel Sultanahmet, Istanbul Looking for a charming and centrally located place to stay in Istanbul? I have a confirmed booking at the beautiful Rast Hotel Sultanahmet that I unfortunately can’t use – and I’d love for someone else to enjoy it! - About the Hotel: Rast Hotel is a stylish, boutique hotel nestled right in the heart of Istanbul’s Old City – just steps away from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Grand Bazaar. It’s a favorite for travelers who want to be immersed in history while enjoying modern comfort.
