The Ritz Carlton Istanbul

Set on the banks of the Bosphorus, The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul seamlessly integrates European style with Turkish tradition. Experience local customs, from welcome drinks like sahlep in the lobby to locally sourced olive oil at Atelier Real Food, and then relax in perfect luxury. This five-star hotel features redesigned accommodation, an outdoor spa, nearly 26,000 sq ft of event space and three restaurants and bars, all with Bosphorus views. An essential destination for spa fans, the spa includes the city’s first independent Turkish bath made particularly for couples. With its finger on the vibration of the leisure spa scene, the hotel is also home to Istanbul’s first outdoor spa-terrace, where you can relax in Jacuzzis, unwind with a massage, or just sunbathe beside the pool while staring up at the city views. You can have a sun-drenched Mediterranean flavour at Atelier Real Food and join Istanbul’s. Close to both Taksim and the chic shopping district of Nişantaşı, yet a 15-minute journey by public transport into the centre of the historic district, the Ritz-Carlton allows guests to experience the best of both old and new Istanbul.
