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. In a region known for its palaces, mosques and Spice Bazaar, The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul emerges as a symbol of modern Turkish luxury. Surrender to the inimitable beauty of this five-star hotel on the Bosphorus, where tradition appears in enchanting ways, like Turkish coffee ceremonies, Iznik ceramic tilework and even an antique door in the lobby that dates back to the Selchuk Empire.
