Raffles Istanbul offers a new perspective on a timeless city, at the heart of the new Zorlu Center, a next-generation bazaar where high fashion, performance, fine food and the arts converge. On the European side of Istanbul, the hotel has sweeping views over the Bosphorus and the Prince Islands. The 185 rooms and 66 Residences - some of the largest in the city – all have floor to ceiling windows and private balconies. The sleek modern interiors are embellished with a large collection of contemporary art, much of it specially-commissioned from local artists. The authentic Raffles touch is personified by the legendary Raffles Butler Service, which currently extends from Singapore to the company's hotels around the world. The extensive Raffles Spa offers signature treatments by Organic Pharmacy and the outdoor pool has unforgettable views over the Istanbul skyline.

From the moment I arrived at Raffles Istanbul, I was immersed in world-class elegance and genuine, thoughtful hospitality. Every detail was meticulously considered—from the attentive concierge and seamless check-in to the immaculate, beautifully designed rooms that perfectly balanced comfort with sophistication. If you're not staying in a suite, I highly recommend treating yourself to the Bosphorus Lounge for €85 per person a day. The panoramic view alone is worth it—truly stunning. Alternatively, the Lavinia Lounge is a fantastic spot to gather with friends over tea or a glass of wine. Both lounges are gorgeous and exude refined charm. Special thanks to Mehmet for showing me around, providing me with some great amenities and coordinating my services behind the scenes. As for amenities, the Hammam was the perfect way to unwind before my long flight. Just when I thought the impeccable service was complete, the concierge thoughtfully organized my departure, ensuring I left in effortless style. At IST airport they kept calling me Pasha. Haha This was far more than just a hotel stay—it was a full luxury experience. I’m already dreaming of my return. Raffles Istanbul is a must for anyone seeking the pinnacle of comfort, service, and unforgettable moments. Lucky to have Mehmet, Nur, Isbeck, Deniz and Mete for arranging my departure. A-Team

There nothing like the Raffles Istanbul. I’ve been coming to the city for last 6 years and Raffles Istanbul has been my home. They beat my expectations each time, lovely team, lovely hotel that makes you feel like family. We also had couple of family stays and these have been our best holidays of all times. Special thanks to Kadir, Mete, deniz , Mustafa (butler) , Ali (isokyo) ++++++ Love you all !

We were a big group traveling together and ended up booking 8 rooms at the hotel. From the very beginning, Nafiseh was absolutely amazing. She was super helpful, always patient, and made sure everything went smoothly for us. No matter what time it was — day or night — she was always available to answer our questions or help us out with anything we needed. Having someone like her around really made a big difference and made our whole stay much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you so much, Nafiseh!
