Fine Dining
Kariye's highly acclaimed Asitane Restaurant serves traditional Ottoman cuisine in a contemporary setting. The menu is inspired by a document dating from 1539 of an Ottoman feast, therefore, it includes dishes rarely found elsewhere. It has become increasingly popular with tourists and Istanbulites alike.
Accommodation
The rooms here are all en suite and present classical Ottoman decor in a simple, light and refreshing way.

Just next door to the hotel is the 11th century Chora Church with some of the best Byzantine frescoes and mosaics in the world. See also....
