Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus
Revived riverside palace still oozing regal class
Hand-painted ceilings that enliven the shimmering marble of the Four Season’s second Istanbul outpost’s refined decor are one highlight of this elegantly restored 19th-century Ottoman palace located on the European banks of the waterway. Chief among its other attractions is the quayside terrace, lit by flaming torches at night, with fine restaurants and a sumptuous pool. River views also feature in the 145 rooms and 25 suites, which boast chic, elegant designs.
