An Insider's Take
'Where European elegance meets Ottoman grandeur in the heart of Istanbul's most prestigious district.' What's Special? Raffles Istanbul occupies a prime location in Zorlu Center, offering breathtaking views of the Bosphorus strait and the city's iconic skyline. This luxury hotel features the world's first Raffles Spa by L'Occitane and houses exclusive shopping at Turkey's most upscale retail destination. The property's distinctive architecture incorporates traditional Turkish design elements with contemporary luxury.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Bosphorus-view room on higher floors for stunning sunset vistas over the strait that separates Europe and Asia - it's particularly magical during the evening call to prayer.
Don't Miss The rooftop Long Bar with panoramic city views, and take advantage of the hotel's prime location just minutes from Dolmabahçe Palace and a short ferry ride to historic Sultanahmet district. The adjacent Zorlu Performing Arts Center hosts world-class concerts and shows.

    * The One Room Category Upgrade at Time of Booking is still subject to availability & black-out dates even when the next category is showing available.
