We are located in the hub of Istanbul's most desired and visited district: Taksim. This is where Istanbul's heart beats - we're talking New York's Times Square, Paris' Mont-martre and London's Oxford Street. Where else will you find a street like Taksim's Istiklal - visited by nearly 3 million people each day. Staying at the Lavanta Hotel is like being a part of it all. Just 100 meters from Istiklal Street, you will be within walking-distance of everything - shops, cafés, restaurants, bazaars and landmarks - you name it. We will be more than happy to assist you in your choices, and hope to make your visit to Istanbul a memorable one.
