Our family story

A Turkish home in the heart of ancient Istanbul

Nestled on one of Sultanahmet's most charming cobblestone streets, the Hotel Buhara Family Inn is owned and run by İlyes and Adalet Bozyurt. More than a hotel — it is a warm Turkish home, and it has been since the first day.

Our grapevine terrace looks out over the Sea of Marmara. Eight individually decorated rooms — among them Deluxe Room 16, the White House Apartment and Family Room 13 — each with a character of its own.

Dining & terrace

Breakfast under the grapevines

Wake to the morning call to prayer and step onto the terrace, where an open buffet is laid out fresh each morning by Adalet and the family.

Through the day the pergola becomes the place to sit and watch the sun set over the Marmara and the Princes' Islands.

  • Traditional Turkish open buffet — included with every room
  • Grapevine pergola with a full Marmara sea panorama
  • Open all day — drinks, sunsets and evening quiet
  • Barbecue on request, and room service when you would rather stay in

Location

At the crossroads of civilisations

Everything that makes Istanbul extraordinary is a short walk from the door, and the Sultanahmet tram connects you to the rest of the city.
