Park Hyatt Istanbul – Maçka Palas

Istanbul, Turkey

We're not really a booking service. But a few times a year someone asks, and we say yes. Then Sofie and I plan the whole thing the way we'd plan our own: the route, not just one hotel; the rooms worth the upgrade; the table worth crossing town for. Tell us what you're thinking. If we're not the right people for it, we'll say so.

Nicolas’s brother Thomas, a travel advisor by trade, helps with the legwork.

We’ll come back with a quote you can book and pay yourself, with everything already attached.

Would rather do it yourself? Reserve direct on the hotel’s own site. No hard feelings — if you’re chasing status or points with the brand, that’s usually the cleaner path anyway.
