1. Four Seasons Istanbul at Sultanahmet

    Staying inside the old city walls doesn't get more dramatic than this Forbes Five Star hotel, a converted neoclassical prison that once held dissident poets and now holds guests who pay considerably more to be there. The Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are basically next door, so the location alone justifies a lot. Inside, Murano chandeliers and hand-woven carpets do most of the heavy lifting, and they do it well.
