The Ortakoy Princess sits in a nice neighborhood facing the Bosphorus and is surrounded by a great night-life and good restaurants. Right near the bridge connecting Asia and Europe and with a great outdoor pool area and optional candlelight seating arrangements, this is a great spot for a leisure vacation in Istanbul. Waterfront is right down the street and it's an excellent spot to enjoy the evenings. For dining you're certainly not in want, the Rock house Bar, boasting excellent South American and Mexican flavors -a bit different for the area, dazzles guests with a zany choice of music, solid cocktails, and great food. The rooms are large and offer breathtaking views of the city -be sure to get a waterfront view, you won't be disappointed. In the evenings make sure to hit up some of the local restaurants in the area; this is a happening neighborhood.
