At the Four Seasons Istanbul at the Bosphorus, you will stay in an opulent 19th-century Ottoman palace on the European shore of the Bosphorus Strait, enjoying magnificent views of the hills of Asia. The interior design honors Ottoman style with traditional artwork, high-quality carpets, and elegant beige and gold tones. Treat yourself to the luxury of a suite with a view of the Bosphorus, which you can enjoy from the balcony or through floor-to-ceiling windows. A Turkish-inspired spa, spacious indoor and outdoor pools, and the finest Italian and Turkish cuisine will sweeten your dream vacation.
The large outdoor pool invites you to take a dip before relaxing in the adjacent whirlpool or on the spacious sunbathing area and enjoying the fabulous view. The indoor pool impresses with its innovative geometric mosaic design and subtle lighting. There is also a large fitness room with the latest equipment and a soothing wellness center with massage rooms, saunas, steam baths, and, of course, a beautiful Turkish hammam. If you would like to explore the area in style, the concierge service will be happy to arrange a helicopter tour or a luxurious boat trip on the Bosphorus for you at any time.
With many different room categories to choose from, you can decide for yourself where you want to feel at home while away from home. If you want authentic Ottoman style, choose accommodation in the palace building – the suites overlooking the Bosphorus feature floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, chic bathtubs in gleaming marble bathrooms, and furnishings in elegant beige and gold tones. The opulent Bosphorus Palace Suite with three bedrooms can accommodate up to seven guests. Turkish and Ottoman lithographs and art objects in every room add that special something to your stay.
Take your time enjoying the extensive breakfast buffet: the pastries are of the highest quality, complemented by a variety of international classics and local specialties such as fresh gözleme, a type of flatbread with savory fillings. In the evening, the breakfast room transforms into the chic Italian restaurant Aqua, which is popular with locals and visitors alike, especially for its exquisite seafood and fresh fish. In the elegant hotel lobby, Yasemin welcomes you in the afternoon for traditional Turkish tea and also offers delicious Turkish dishes in the evening, which you can enjoy along with a magnificent view of the Bosphorus.
Opened in 2008, the Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus is housed in the elegant 19th-century Atık Paşa Palace and enchants its guests from the moment they arrive with its fantastic waterfront location. From the spectacular white-tiled terrace, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Bosphorus, while standing in the European part of Turkey and looking out over the picturesque hills of Asia. Watching the sunset with a glass of wine is an unforgettable experience. The guest rooms and suites feature an airy blend of traditional Ottoman architecture and modern furnishings – around a third of the accommodations also enjoy a view of the river, which is highly recommended. The beautiful outdoor pool invites you to swim and laze under the Turkish sun, and the spa area offers a majestic indoor pool, relaxing saunas, steam baths, a hammam, and treatment rooms.
