Design Hotel
While some luxury and design chains may offer the views of the Bosphorus or history of an Ottoman palace, Witt Istanbul offers a glimpse of fashionable Istanbul removed from the tourist infrastructure in trendy Cihangir. Similar to London's Soho or the Marais in Paris, the area is also home to Witt that's a sophisticated luxury design hotel concealed within an otherwise unassuming city block. Design comes ala Autobahn Interiors, the city's top architectural design firm, who put a stylish stamp on a series of communal rooms arranged in long leather tufted sofas juxtaposed to custom mid-century chairs and brocade wall fabrics. The multipurpose lounge offers communal morning breakfast for those not taking it in their room as well as lingering bar scene by evening and night.
The Room
A cozy elevator adorned in jovial pop art leads to a series of guest accommodations that vary between lofty and dramatic depending on your floor and category. Entry-level rooms are on lower floors facing a lively, but silent, street scene amongst an interior narrative of geometric wall fabrics, wingback headboards with wood grain detail and custom mid-century décor. Perhaps the prettiest kitchenette you’ll ever seen is as much about cocktails as morning coffee with its veiny white marble, mirrored backsplash and chrome detailing. Upper floors maximize views with floor to ceiling windows as well as the occasional outdoor teak deck.
