Five-star calm between Bosphorus and Beyoğlu
Set between Taksim Square and the leafy Maçka district, this five-star gem puts you minutes from the Bosphorus, İstiklal Avenue’s boutiques and Beyoğlu’s galleries. Hop on the funicular to Karaköy, ferry across to Kadıköy for markets, or tram it to Sultanahmet for Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar.
Back at your majestic hotel, oasis vibes kick in: expect a resort-style outdoor pool framed by palms, sunbeds and a tranquil garden; GAIA Spa & Fitness with sauna, steam room and treatments; and a well-equipped gym for jet-lag resets. Concierge can line up Bosphorus cruises, hammam experiences and restaurant reservations, while business travellers can make use of the polished event spaces and seamless Wi-Fi.
Dining here couldn't be easier. Start with specialty coffee in the lounge, linger over Mediterranean-Turkish plates at 34 Restaurant, and claim poolside bites and cocktails at Gazebo when the sun’s out. Step outside for meyhane suppers in Çiçek Pasajı, contemporary dining in chic Nişantaşı, or street-food pilgrimages for simit, döner and midye dolma.
Evenings end best served on a Bosphorus ferry, watching Europe and Asia twinkle in tandem. With five-star facilities and a first-class address, this place is your smooth launchpad for art walks, waterfront wanders and everything appetising in between. Sleep, sparkle, repeat in Istanbul.
