The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
Ottoman Luxury Today
Journey to the crossroads of two continents, where Asia and Europe come together, along the banks of the beautiful and historic Bosporus Strait. In the centre of this fascinating, eccentric city of Istanbul, the Ritz-Carlton Istanbul stands in prominence, epitomizing its welcoming spirit, its dynamic pace, and the harmonic convergence of East and West, of past and present, and of modern and classic.
Bathed in Ottoman-inspired splendor that pays homage to the rich historical traditions of Turkey, The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul features guest rooms dripping in luxury, carefully conceived to provide an unforgettable living space. Balancing modern design with traditional Turkish splendor, the rooms offer oversized marble bathrooms resplendent with Iznik tiles, to create the same atmosphere enjoyed by the sultans of centuries past. Fine Turkish carpets grace rich wood floors, and views overlook the Bosporus. When it’s time to retire for the night, you’ll slip into the bliss of a feather bed and 300-thread-count linens.
Elsewhere in this resplendent hotel, you’ll find a dazzling array of services. The ancient water therapies of the Turkish hamam inspire renewal at the Laveda Spa, where a menu of luxurious services are provided in nine treatment rooms, including two couples rooms, and complemented with amenities such as a sauna, Jacuzzi and indoor pool. In the summer months the Laveda Spa moves out into the open, onto terraces overlooking the blue waters and wooded shores of the Bosphorus. The Open Air Spa features two treatment rooms and offers a full wellness program, a wide variety of massage therapies, facials and body treatments.
Dining at the Ritz-Carlton Istanbul is equally rewarding, whether at the Cintemani Restaurant, where the dishes once served to sultans are recreated, or at the Guney Park Terrace atop Dolmabahce Palace, for starlit dinners.
