At the heart of Sheraton Istanbul Levent is the lobby. This has been re-imagined as the “Public Square” of the hotel; a holistic, open space that invites people to come together or to be alone amongst others, creating a sense of energy and belonging. With a flow that is natural, intuitive, and uncomplicated, guests have what they need within arm’s reach, all set against an inviting backdrop that feels warm and comfortable yet refined.
Original artwork from local artists is showcased throughout the hotel, chosen to spark visual inspiration including work from celebrated contemporary Turkish artist, Seckin Prim.
