With the eagerly anticipated Istanbul Music and Jazz Festivals taking place in June and July this year, Marti Istanbul, the hottest new hotel in the city, has created an ‘Istanbul Calling’ break for culture vulture guests staying at the hotel. Taking in some of the best sights in the city, and the highlights of the hotel, the new break can be enjoyed at any point until the end of October, or over the upcoming Music Festival(June 2013) and Jazz Festival (July 2013). As the official accommodation sponsor of the Music and Jazz Festivals, there’s no better place than Martı Istanbul to lay your head!
Located in the heart of the Istanbul’s thriving cultural and arts district, Martı Istanbul in Turkey is the perfect choice for a long cultural weekend in the city. This sensational contemporary hotel was designed by globally famed Interior Designer, Zeynep Fadıllıoğlu. Home to artwork of some of the most famous contemporary Turkish artists (such as Kutluğ Ataman and Devrim Erbil) the hotel is a design lover’s dream.
As part of the ‘Istanbul Calling’ break, guests will have the chance to enjoy a guided half day city tour taking in the best sights of Istanbul including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, The Hippodrome and the bustling Grand Bazaar.
