Istanbul is a city of contrasts — ancient yet modern, vibrant yet serene. And for couples looking to celebrate love, few destinations rival its romance. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, an anniversary trip, or just a spontaneous escape, Istanbul offers the perfect setting for unforgettable moments. Here’s how to make your romantic getaway truly special — starting with where you stay.

1. Choose a Romantic Hotel in the Right Location
Nothing sets the tone for a couple’s retreat like a hotel that understands intimacy, atmosphere, and location. Romance Istanbul Hotel, located in the heart of Sultanahmet, offers just that. Surrounded by historical wonders and tucked into a peaceful street, it’s ideal for couples who want both privacy and proximity to the city’s top sights.

2. Surround Yourselves with Timeless Beauty
From the architecture of Hagia Sophia to the intricate tiles of the Blue Mosque, Istanbul is visually stunning — and incredibly romantic. A stroll through Gülhane Park or a sunset by the Bosphorus creates the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and quiet connection.

3. Indulge in Luxurious Comfort
Romance Istanbul Hotel caters to couples with elegantly designed rooms, luxurious linens, and Ottoman-inspired decor that evokes a sense of old-world glamour. Book a suite with a spa bath for extra indulgence, or unwind together at the hotel’s wellness center after a day of exploring.

4. Dine with a View at Olive Restaurant
No romantic trip is complete without an unforgettable dinner. Located on the top floor of Romance Istanbul Hotel, Olive Restaurant offers panoramic views of the Bosphorus and Old City. The menu features a refined selection of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine — perfect for sharing dishes and lingering over wine. As the sun sets and city lights sparkle, it becomes one of the most romantic dining experiences in Istanbul.

Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, a reservation at Olive Restaurant is a must for couples visiting Sultanahmet.

5. Make Memories That Last
Take a ferry ride at dusk, get lost in the Grand Bazaar, or enjoy a couple’s hammam ritual at a historic bathhouse. Istanbul offers not just activities, but moments — the kind you’ll talk about for years. And at the end of each day, return to a hotel that enhances the experience, not just hosts it.

For couples seeking history, luxury, and romance, Istanbul is unmatched — and Romance Istanbul Hotel, with the added delight of Olive Restaurant, is the perfect place to call home during your journey together.
