Stay at the Shangri-La Bosphorus
The Shangri-La Bosphorus opens like a regal storybook, enriched with a wealth of pages. Previously an abandoned tobacco warehouse, the fragrant-scented lobby now shimmers under the glitz of three Bohemian glass chandeliers. More impressive still, one pours down the stairwell into the lower lobby floor, much like a running waterfall of glorious gold shades.This is one of Istanbul’s most prestigious hotels, and everything from design to service confirms it. Wake to panoramic views over the city of crossroads. Savour gratis cake and macarons after a seductive rub down at the CHI spa. Dine with poise at the signature Shang Palace. The night begins with oriental flavours, paired expertly with a glass of regional wine.
Location
The hotel enjoys a wonderful waterfront position along the European side of the Bosphorus Strait. Expect an up-and-coming district full of lively bars and eateries. Nestled near the Maritime Museum and Dolmabahçe Palace, the old city is a 20-minute drive away.The hotel enjoys a wonderful waterfront position along the European side of the Bosphorus Strait.
