"Istanbul, maybe more than anywhere else, is a city marked by the vivid contrast between the old and the new. And any hotel worth its salt in this famous crossroads of a city — spanning not just the ancient and the modern but Europe and Asia as well — will embody this contrast to a noticeable degree. That’s certainly the story with the Manna Boutique Hotel. By local standards it may lean slightly toward the modern side, housed as it is in a contemporary building in the business district of Gayrettepe. But its design is not just stylish but is clearly rooted in local tradition, with enough Ottoman accent to lend it an unmistakable sense of place." - Tablet Hotels
