It's in a very nice, ritzy neighborhood with lost of designer stores (Armani, Gucci, etc). But it's not directly in the tourist area of Sultanahamet. then again, I don't think you'd really want to stay in sultanahamet anyway. It's very crowded and touristy and not very relaxing.

I think it would be too long for a walk to Sultanahmet from the Park Hyatt Macka Palace, so tram or subway or taxi is the way to go. The good thing about Istanbul is that taxis are cheap (make sure the meter is on, and make sure they give you back the new Turkish lira, and not the old one), and so we just cabbed it everywhere when we were in Istanbul.
