The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

Istanbul

OVERVIEW

Overlooking the curvaceous bends of the Bosphorus, the Ritz-Carlton Istanbul offers incredible views across the city, none more so than from the Open Air Spa on the rooftop. The city’s tallest skyscraper towers some 34 storeys into the big, bright blue sky. Views of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn are one bonus, but the hotel is also helpfully located near to Taksim Square, meaning easy walking access to many of the city’s attractions and fantastic nightlife.

Each of the 243 Ottoman-inspired rooms reflects the city’s grand, culturally-diverse past, with traditional Turkish touches like dark woods, sumptuous fabrics and intricate carpets. Despite this, the hotel is incredibly slick and sophisticated, the outside a deep gunmetal grey which is continued through some of the public areas.

Huge picture windows let in the magnificent Bosphorus views and bright colours of a somewhat complicated city that straddles east and west, but for seriously spectacular views you’ll want to book a Terrace Suite, which has a huge balcony overlooking the city’s star attraction, snaking like a ribbon between Europe and Asia.
