First off, a rating of "excellent" is not really reflective of how amazing this hotel truly is. I would say a rating of "exceptional" would be more like it. But let's not get bogged down by semantics, as long as it's clear that this hotel is in a class of it's own. I would urge anyone with the means to... More

What not to like about this hotel? Fantastic position overlooking the Bosphorus. The main hotel body is actually detached from the Ciragan Palace, yet having such an historical building as part of the hotel complex is quite spectacular. The view of the Bosphorus is best enjoyed from the infinity pool. My wife and I arrived with an early morning flight... More

There are so many positive things to say about Ciragan Palace. Stunning location on the edge of the Bosphorus with Asia Minor on the other side and the magnificent Bosphoros Bridge towering to the left. The hotel is immaculate, beautifully furnished and oozes class. The staff are friendly and attentive and try to apply a personal touch where possible. We... More

My husband and I stayed at the Kempinski for two days and it was wonderful! Turkish Airways had lost one of my bags coming from Cappadocia (direct flight!!), the one carrying all my shoes!

Last month we organized a medical scientific meeting at Çırağan Palace Kempinski Hotel with our International Guests.

Great hotel in an excellent position. Away from the old city and while not quite enables you to enjoy other attractions. Nice rooms we had a water view which was worth the extra not that we spent much time. Friendly staff, good gym and pools Was all excellent except o the restaurant we tried, Tugra, which was disappointing

On the whole the hotel was good, I've stayed in Kempinski hotels and other equivalent hotels around the world and this by far stands out for the not delivering a 5 star service in my opinion...
