Love at First Sight
By common consent one of the world's most romantic cities, Istanbul's Istiklal Street is the setting for Mama Shelter. And Istiklal is not just any old street, it's the principal upmarket thoroughfare of the city, with exclusive shopping by day and a huge selection of restaurants and bars, many with live music, by night. Internationally renowned designer Philippe Starck is responsible for the hotel's interiors and his trademark use of strong colours and quirky detailing are evident throughout, right down to the giant clothes peg on the rooftop terrace, a spot with stunning cityscape views. Nearby tram and bus stops and a metro station make Mama Shelter an ideal base for exploring the Byzantine and contemporary wonders of Istanbul.
Romance
Istanbul is where Europe meets Asia and the two cultures meld together to create an extraordinary whole that combines modern life with a culture that stretches back for centuries. You and your loved one will marvel at the splendour of the magnificent Blue Mosque, the mysterious romance of Topkapi Palace and the thriving nightlife in the side streets of Istiklal where you'll find keenly priced and authentic Turkish food and traditional and contemporary live music amid a thoroughly convivial party atmosphere.
Your Stay
The 81 rooms all have clear signs of Philippe Starck's inimitable style with clever lighting, printed carpets and contemporary artworks all featuring. Some rooms have terraces and all are equipped with 27-inch iMacs or 40-inch LED screens, minibars and air conditioning. Both wifi and movies on demand are complimentary, and free international magazines and journals are available at breakfast time in the restaurant lounge.
What to Do
The hotel offers a variety of activities including yoga sessions, interactive cocktail workshops and visits to a local hammam. There are also excursions such as a cruise up the beautiful and historic Bosphorus Strait by private boat or a trip on the Marmara Sea that takes in the romantic Princess Islands, the sandy beaches at Büyükada and lunch at an excellent fish restaurant. If you want to shop, make your way to the 3,000 outlets at the 15th-century Grand Bazaar, an enchanting enclosed market that's like a city within a city. Buy gold jewellery, a fez, Turkish slippers or a hookah, or just marvel as you wander through the maze of vaulted passages and narrow alleys.
The Food of Love
The sophisticated chic of the hotel restaurant's interior is complemented by the tempting dishes on the Franco-Turkish and international menu. Pizzas and burgers are available as is more elevated fare such as grilled sea bass with quinoa tabbouleh, shashlik beef kebab with blue cheese sauce and green salad, and flourless almond and orange cake with chocolate Earl Grey mousse.
