Horst in Istanbul

Posted on 19/08/2011 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Hello Mimi Fans von allover the World,
I was tired of all the Asian food and thought why not go a combination of Middle Eastern & Western influences.. so I took my jet to Istanbul! This time I chose a wonderful design boutique hotel: Bentley; the interior is modern in nice colors, but most important it is literally next to Nişantaşı -one of the hippest & exclusive areas of Istanbul!! Schade dass the Lobby Bar schon am 11 Uhr geschlussen ist…
Liebe Gr aus Isanbul ♥ Horst
