Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
Anticipation may be half the experience for hotel aficionados attending meetings at the í‡iragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul. The five-star hotel holds court on the site of an eighteenth-century residence belonging to the last Ottoman sultans. Built in Istanbul beside the Bosphorus between 1863 and 1871, today's historic palace recaptures the glory of bygone days thanks to a 2007 restoration by Kempinski Hotels. The appointments of the modern wing's meeting rooms mirror those of the palace—a style fit for kings and queens and joined by the latest technology.
The hotel's grandeur and devoted service ensure that guests feel like royalty at all times, whether in the 315 guest rooms and suites, at the restaurants and lounges, hammam, spa, or outdoor pool whose infinity edge merges with the Bosphorus.
