The design is by Autoban, the local firm that’s responsible for quite a lot of the contemporary-style interiors you’ll see around town. Their look for the Witt is modernist-inspired but also lush and luxurious, space-age lines expressed in rich textures of wood and leather — and in many places they’re using their own furniture designs, thus avoiding the off-the-shelf look of too many boutique hotels.
As for the suites there are just fifteen of them, each one outfitted with apartment-style comforts, including separate living rooms and kitchens as well as standards like flat-screen entertainment centers. We’ve seen “residential” hotels before, to mixed results, but Witt is the rare exception — it’s got not just the bells and whistles but character too, enough that you could actually imagine yourself calling it home for a while.
How to get there: Witt Istanbul Suites is approximately a 30 minute drive from Atatürk International Airport. This can take much longer during rush hour. Alternatively the nearest metro stations are Tophane or Taksim Square, both within 5 minutes of the hotel.
