What a wonderful place! I have been to Istanbul several times and always enjoy the crowded streets, however, after all day of that, I need a quiet break. Well, this is the place to go for some peace and quiet.
We arrived before our room was ready and the staff offered us some coffee on the outside patio/bar. It was delightful. It was nice sitting there ready the morning paper and relaxing.
Overall, we found the service exceptional and we enjoyed our corner room with a spectacular view of the Bosporus.
If you have an opportunity to use the spa...do so, you will not be disappointed. Also, the breakfast buffet was excellent and offered a wide array of foods to please every palate.
I would highly recommend this hotel for the luxury traveler.
