What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In Istanbul’s most style-conscious district, Vakko Hotel & Residence feels less like a hotel and more like a perfectly tailored address.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Abdi İpekçi Caddesi runs right outside, lined with international luxury flagships and lively sidewalk cafes.
The rooms
Every suite has a full kitchen and marble bathroom, and floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the streets below.
The spa
Wooden loungers sit beneath a starlight ceiling in the spa. Therapists perform Ayurvedic rituals and gold palm oil massages.
Restaurant
Vakko L’Atelier
Green velvet chairs sit beneath glass skylights at this French bistro, where counters display fresh pastries and artisan chocolates.
How it began
Founder Vitali Hakko started Vakko in 1937 as a small hat and silk scarf shop called Şen Şapka.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
