Concierge.com's insider take:
This four-story hundred-year-old town house is named after the palace of Ibrahim Pasha opposite—whose divine Islamic Arts museum can be easily checked off your to-see list if you score one of these 16 rooms. Recently renovated and outfitted in sensitive high style with the amenities and spaces you'd expect at twice the rate, the rooms have deep carpets and big windows, cranberry velvet lounging couches and white button-back bucket chairs, chrome and glass tables and walls hung, variously, with framed odalisques, mirrors and flat-screen TVs. They also have A/C, minibars, Wi-Fi, and safes. Above them all is a glorious roof deck from which you can practically touch the Blue Mosque; downstairs a lounge/café/bar/breakfast room (breakfast is included) with fireplace and walls of framed prints is rendered yet homier by a resident yellow Lab's enthusiasm.
