It just went down to $117 for the same search. Im looking at 2 rooms, 3 people total. Any ideas?

Unfortunately this property has not yet been reported to the board (we don't see too much traffic to this area, which was only added to HOTWIRE a year or two ago i believe) and with just these two amenities, which would likely be present at most 5* hotels, i'm not able to gain any insight as to which one this may be.

Let us know whatever you decide to do for this stay or if we can be of further help.

Your hotel also has a 4.5 Trip Advisor traveler rating. I guess it's always possible that Hotwire gives the hotel 5 stars and Trip Advisor gives it something else. However, assuming both HW and TA use 5 stars, the following 5 star hotels have the 4.5 rating in the area you are looking:

Park Hyatt Istanbul Macka Palas - this one may not be in the area- it might be just outside. The map is hard to read.

Swissotel The Bosphorous

Ritz Carlton Istanbul

Grand Hyatt Istanbul

Intercontinental Istanbul Ceylan

Gezi Hotel Bosphorous

Pera Palace Hotel

With a 4.5 TA rating and $119 per night, it sounds like any would be a good stay. This is more of a business zone than tourist area. Public transportation is easy, clean, and cheap. Think twice about paying for wi-fi. Huge swaths of Istanbul have free public wi-fi.

Hotel ended up being Holiday Inn Istanbul-Sisli, not quite in the area i was expecting, it was far from anything tourist related, but friendly staff and nice large rooms, so a WIN in my book.
