The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

My stay here was nothing short of exceptional. I booked the Ritz Carlton with my friend for my birthday weekend after reading positive reviews. I was pleased to find out that the service was just as I read. From the small details to the attentive and friendly service - nothing was too much trouble. I was made to feel so special on my birthday with more than three cakes sent to my room. I’d like to also especially thank Yusuf and Reham at reception who went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and also Bariş at concierge. Staff remembered me by name which I thought was an personal touch. Breakfast was great with various selections and special thanks to Aysun who made me feel special every day at breakfast and was so attentive. The room were clean and modern, and the bathrooms classic and beautiful with marble interior. The amenities in the hotel were definitely of a 5 star standard and I’d like to also thank I will definitely be returning to this hotel on my next trip. The only thing I would say is that I wish there was a Jacuzzi in the hotel other than that everything was perfect!

My recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul. From arrival, Mert, Yusuf, and Tuncay provided a warm welcome. Kamar and Rüya were incredibly kind. At the Club Lounge, Eylem, Gülcan Meryem, and Baran delivered, attentive service. The Concierge team Berk, Aybüke, Ibrahim, and Yucel handled every request with professionalism. The breakfast was also outstanding enriched and offering excellent variety. Finally, Bora and Safa at the Front Desk always provide exceptional leadership and professionalism, I truly look forward to returning soon.

It was our first time visiting Istanbul, and The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul was the perfect final stop to conclude our vacation on a truly memorable note. As Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador members, Marriott properties have been our priority choice throughout our journey from Madrid to Istanbul, and this stay beautifully reaffirmed why. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. Max, who kindly showed us around and escorted us to our room, was exceptionally friendly, warm, and helpful. His sincere hospitality made us feel immediately at home and set a wonderful tone for our stay. We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the lounge team, especially the two lovely ladies, Ms. Eylem and Ms. Meryem. They were incredibly friendly, engaging, and prompt in attending to all our requests, always with bright smiles and genuine care. During a pleasant conversation with Ms. Eylem, we shared about our food tour earlier that day and mentioned our love for Turkish olives and Turkish delights. Knowing that we were departing the very next day, she went above and beyond by thoughtfully preparing a beautiful gift featuring our favorites. Such a small yet deeply meaningful gesture truly touched our hearts and exemplified exceptional service. Thank you to the entire Ritz-Carlton Istanbul team for your warmth, thoughtfulness, and impeccable hospitality. You didn’t just provide us with a stay — you gave us a sweet and unforgettable ending to our vacation, one that we will cherish long after we leave.

Fantastic staff and hospitality. The Club lounge staff Selim and Gúlcan anticipated are every need. If I have the opportunity to return to Istanbul I will definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely time at the Ritz Carlton. The club lounge on the 12th floor was one of the highlights where food was served with amazing care and attention to detail and was incredibly tasty and delicious. Our waitress Gulcan was excellent.
