Unique Features
Esans Hotel offers an 'Essence' concept with Ottoman-style aromas in rooms. The hotel is a renovated 19th-century Ottoman mansion, originally owned by a master perfumer. Staff assist with luggage as there is no elevator.
“This small, family-run hotel places you in the heart of Sultanahmet, steps from major sights. I appreciate the authentic Ottoman design and the personalized service, along with the rooftop terrace where you can savor homemade Turkish cuisine. For those seeking an intimate, culturally rich experience, this hotel presents a compelling alternative to the larger, more impersonal options in the area.”
