DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Istanbul is impossible to imagine without the Çırağan Palace. Set on the Bosphorus, this 5-star hotel retains the romance and majesty of the Ottoman Palace it once was. With its palm-lined gardens, infinity pool and exquisite fine dining, this is the place discerning locals choose to party, marry, celebrate and just be.
All the suites and rooms at the Çırağan Palace are light, luxurious and spacious, with balcony views over the gardens or sea. Like the hotel’s ballrooms and meeting spaces, they’re carefully styled to combine baroque touches and opulent furnishings.
The elegance continues in the hotel’s four restaurants, including Tugra its premier fine-dining room which features live Turkish music. However, the hotel’s palatial origins are perhaps seen most clearly in the hammam, the Turkish Spa, which has a white marble floor and exquisitely carved walls.
WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THE HOTEL
- The cuisine. With four restaurants and plenty of al fresco dining options, The Çırağan Palace will make an impression whichever season you’re visiting. Try Tugra for classic Ottoman dishes and the Bosphorus Grill for the live DJ.
- The styling. A façade of finely carved marble sets the tone and this imperial vision is carried throughout the hotel’s ballrooms and suites. The Ottoman Room is particularly beautiful.
- The Hammam. If Turkey gave the world the hammam, the Çırağan Palace perfected it. The stunning spa lobby includes carved marble floors, walls and railings.
