and Residence
Fashion-house precision meets residential apartment living. The aesthetic is quiet luxury — no loud statement pieces, no flashy lobby. Think Frette sheets, surround sound, tablet-controlled lighting scenarios, and wooden key-cards. Guests who love the Bosphorus palace hotels may find the city-neighbourhood setting a trade-off, but those who want Nişantaşı at their doorstep will feel at home immediately.
Book the Studio Residence or The Vakko Room if a terrace matters to you — those are the only suite types with outdoor private space
Why It Matters
The first and only hotel from Turkey's pre-eminent luxury fashion brand. Every textile, toiletry, and pastry carries the Vakko name — a level of brand coherence almost unmatched in boutique hospitality. It's also a genuine neighbourhood hotel that locals actually use, not just an expat bubble.
Turkey's Vakko fashion house opened its first hotel in early 2023, sitting directly above its Nişantaşı flagship store on Abdi İpekçi Avenue — one of Istanbul's chicest shopping streets, with Prada directly opposite and Chanel a short stroll away. All 31 suites run from 95 to 198 m², each with a full kitchen, walk-in wardrobe, marble bathroom, and a palette of cream, pale wood, and soft grey that feels genuinely residential rather than hotel-generic. Butler service comes standard, spa treatments can be brought to your room, and the on-site Vakko store means you can replenish your wardrobe without even stepping outside.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Premiere City Suite
Two units on the second floor. Separate bedroom, living room, and fully equipped kitchen across 110 m². City-facing views. A good entry point into the Vakko experience if you want a true one-bedroom layout without the two-bedroom scale of the Signature tier.
King · 110 sqmPremiere Suite
Ten of these spread across the hotel. Same 110 m² footprint as the Premiere City Suite but oriented towards the interior/quieter side of the building rather than the main street. Separate bedroom, living room, fully equipped kitchen, and marble bathroom.
King · 110 sqm
Signature City Suite
Six suites on the first and second floors. Steps up to two bedrooms — a master king and a second room with twins — plus a spacious living room and full kitchen in 125 m². Good for families or guests wanting a proper second room.
King + Twin · 125 sqmSignature Suite
Ten suites with two bedrooms and a full kitchen across 125 m². Windows open to Nişantaşı street views. Same layout as the Signature City Suite but facing the neighbourhood rather than the main avenue. The most popular category according to reviews.
King · 125 sqmStudio Residence with Terrace
Two of these on the top floor. The 95 m² living space comes with a 25 m² private terrace — one of only two suite categories that gets outdoor space. Full kitchen, king bed, walk-in wardrobe, and marble bathroom. A solid option if alfresco mornings matter to you.
King · 95 sqmThe Vakko Room
The whole top of the building. 198 m² interior plus a 50 m² private terrace with Bosphorus views — the only suite in the hotel with that view. Inside: electric fireplace, dining table for 8, kitchen, bar, and a generous living room. Also available for private events (up to 12 seated, 50 standing). For events, the two Studio Residences on the same floor can be added.
