Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus

Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus occupies the Atik Pasha Mansion, a nineteenth-century palace on the European bank of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey. Outside, marble quayside terraces adjoin 27,459 square feet of meeting space for groups of up to 1,000 people. The indoor options include two ballrooms, each with a foyer, plus six rooms for breakouts and intimate occasions.

All three stories of interiors blend Ottoman accents with chic urban-contemporary furnishings, including the 170 rooms and suites overlooking the strait, the gardens, or the city. Guests can also enjoy Aqua, the main restaurant featuring Mediterranean cuisine; the seasonal Pool Bar and Restaurant; and both an outdoor pool and a skylit indoor pool, centerpiece of the hotel's vast spa and fitness club. Designer shops and jazz clubs wait just beyond the doorstep.
