About the location:

A timeless palace between the continents. Proudly standing on the shores of the scenic Bosphorus – the storied strait that links Europe and Asia – our lovingly restored, 19th-century Ottoman palace brings together Istanbul’s ancient architecture, warm Turkish hospitality and contemporary accommodations. Relax in one of our traditional hammams, spend an afternoon lounging around our outdoor pool, and savour Anatolian delicacies as you admire the soaring minarets and towers of the city’s inimitable waterfront skyline. We’ll show you a seldom-seen side of Istanbul during your stay with us.
