This waterfront property on the Asian side of the Bosphorus Strait is elegant, peaceful, and historic. The staff could not have been more accommodating in arranging tours and excellent dining options. All in all, this was a very relaxing spot from which to explore the Kanlica neighborhood and Istanbul, set among beautiful homes, parkland, and of course the waterway connecting the hotel to downtown Istanbul. We would especially like to commend the Reception staff of Levent, Berkay, and Orkun for their attentive service and responsiveness!
