Surrounded by lush gardens, the Dragos Park Hotel offers deluxe accommodation near Istanbul, looking out over the Marmara Sea towards the Princes' Islands, officially called Kizil Adalar (the Red Islands). You can take the ferry from Kartal to these balmy, car-free and stress-free islands, which provide a wonderful escape from the hectic rush of Istanbul. However, if you fancy a jaunt into Istanbul City Centre, then it is not too far away for a day trip. The Dragos Park Hotel is the ideal retreat for those unwilling to brave the heat and chaos of Istanbul's absurdly crowded centre. The hotel complex is made up of 3 low-rise chalets, one of which is a historic building, sitting in an oasis of tranquillity near Istanbul, where you can take a relaxing break within easy reach of Istanbul's innumerable attractions. To ease guests into the leisurely pace of life here, there is a spa where you can have a massage or unwind in the steam room. Alternatively, enjoy a refreshing dip in one of the hotel's 2 swimming pools before breakfast or go for a work out in the fitness centre. Banqueting and conference facilities are also available too.
