What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Vakko Hotel and Residence is a guiding light for a new type of traveller. Not just a boutique city escape but an elegant residence. This striking complex boasts a selection of luxury suites and apartments for shorter and long term stays. It has all the perks of a luxury hotel with a concierge, private butler service, and beautiful spa and gym. Each experience is infused with the timeless Vakko name so guests can enjoy exclusive access to its nearby clothing and lifestyle stores. Come and go from your studio space or premier suite with its separate living room and ultra-comfortable furnishings or dial up the luxury with a stay in the penthouse suite which comes with an electric fireplace, generous living area, and two private terraces for stunning city views. Your fully equipped kitchen means you can eat and entertain at any hour, but the Vakko L'Atelier restaurant is on hand for gourmet food at its finest - as is the Chef Chez Vous service if you want to throw unforgettable dinner parties. When you want to step into the outside world the chic Nisantasi neighborhood is on your doorstep. Simply sit back in a cafe and watch the glamorous world go by or discover world class shopping- independent boutiques, traditional Turkish bazaars, and the ateliers of haute couture designers. The hotel can provide consultations with personal stylists- as well as indulgent massage treatments to soothe sore muscles after a busy day or night out.
