This is the only traditional Ottoman Palace to now be a luxury hotel, and you can experience royal treatment on the banks of the Bosphurus.
All the style of this stunning 17th century palace remains, it is a landmark of the city in its own right but also perfectly located for exploring the delights of Istanbul.
But there are delights inside too, and not just the ornate finish and incredible grandeur.
The infinity pool gives the feeling of floating on the river, while the spa and fitness centres are modern and wonderfully equipped and the food - well, it’s fit for a Sultan.
