The Arena Hotel Special Class is home away from home located at the heart of Sultanahmet.
Since Sultanahmet is one of the oldest regions of Istanbul, many consider it to be the largest open-air museum in the world, and rightfully so, as it possesses the custodianship of many landmarks from the Romans to the Ottomans. A legacy that is thousands of years long.
Arena Hotel Special Class is located right next to the Sphendone. The sole part of the Byzantine Hippodrome wall that has survived to this day. This Ancient Grand Family Residence was transformed into a Boutique Hotel to provide endless opportunities to those willing to explore Istanbul's rich history, blending tradition and innovation with real Turkish hospitality.

The architectural features of the building are preserved through hardwood parquet floors and custom made furniture.
