Sureyya Teras
Four Seasons rooftop with Hagia Sophia views
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Perhaps the most privileged view in Istanbul - from the rooftop of Four Seasons Sultanahmet, gaze directly at Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The terrace bar serves refined cocktails and Turkish-inspired appetizers while you drink in a view that's been inspiring visitors for centuries.
Editor's Tip
The view alone justifies the price. Book for sunset and watch the minarets light up.
