Point Hotel Barbaros, hotel in Istanbul, Turkey
Point Hotel Barbaros is a hotel in the Esentepe neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey. It occupies a building in one of the city's main office and commercial areas on the European side.
Esentepe developed into one of Istanbul's key business hubs from the 1980s onward. This shift brought many companies and hotels to the area, including the Point Hotel Barbaros.
The hotel sits in Esentepe, one of Istanbul's main business districts on the European side. The area draws mostly professionals during the week, giving the neighborhood a working rhythm rather than a tourist one.
The hotel is in a well-connected part of Istanbul, with several metro and bus options nearby. Visitors planning to explore the historic center should allow extra travel time, as it is a fair distance away.
The name Barbaros refers to Hayreddin Barbarossa, the 16th-century Ottoman admiral who is still remembered in this part of Istanbul. His tomb stands not far from the hotel, on the shore of the Bosphorus.
