Samokatus Hotels

A converted historic building in Istanbul’s Old City, Orient Occident pairs ornate, well‑appointed rooms with standout personalised service and a rooftop restaurant boasting sweeping views over the Golden Horn and Hagia Sophia. Guests repeatedly praise staff members by name for going above and beyond, and the rooftop breakfast is frequently called a highlight; rooms are stylish though sometimes compact.

Housed in a beautifully restored historic theater that was once Spain's first cinema, this newly opened Hilton Curio Collection property blends classic heritage with bold modern luxury. Located in a quiet financial district just a 10–15 minute walk from San Sebastian's vibrant Old Town, it features elegant rooms, a top-tier gym, and highly praised personalized service.
