Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus
This property was at a great location. Walking distance from the river and downtown Besiktas. Special shoutout to Ekrem and Serhat for their great service and hospitality!

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
One of our best ever hotel stays. Wins for the incredible staff who make anything happen, the indoor pool, the breakfast buffet and the beautiful views of the Bosphorus. Not right in the heart of the action but the tram is a 10 minute walk away which we found fine. Highly recommended
