In bustling Galata step off the street into a tranquil garden with a cemetery. Inside, there's a beautiful old building with a wooden chamber in which dervishes hold ceremonies at times. Mevlevi ceremonies used to be performed for visitors on the last Sunday of each month (but check if this is still the case).
Galata Mevlevihane, Galip Dede Caddesi.
A great central location on a canal five minutes from the Alster lake and designer shops. Modern minimal room styling. Indoor pool and spa. Usual German high quality extensive breakfast; they have everything.
