Shangri-La Bosphorus, Istanbul

This hotel was the perfect ending to our whirlwind Turkey trip! Out of the three hotels we stayed in, this was by far the best. Our room was spacious and elegant, and the service was outstanding. The lobby was filled with tempting treats – though I was always too full to indulge, they were a feast for the eyes! Our final dinner at the Asian restaurant was the best meal of the entire trip. The bed was incredibly comfortable, although I only had a few hours to enjoy it due to an early flight. The Bosphorus view from my room was incredible; it felt like I could step right onto the ferries below!

A truly relaxing comfortable stay in luxury with good friendly service. Most importantly, the room is quiet and tastefully furnished. We were given an upgrade and our room overlooked the sea and is very quiet and luxurious. We stayed 4 nights at this establishment and buoyed every night. The food in IST TOO is very good. It serves breakfast and is also an Italian breakfast. This restaurant is really good and we ate there for breakfast and dinner. The chef is Italian and the food is exceptional especially the charcoal grilled meats and Italian pasta. Wine selections are great too. In terms of location, it is not walking distance from the historical sights at Sulthanamet but it is very conveniently located near ferry terminals which can take you to the Asia side or various stops at the European sights. It’s walking distance to Dolmabache Palace. I purposely chose to stay here as I had planned to stay in 2 hotels during my 1 week in Istanbul. A few nights near tourist sights near Sulthanamet and a few nights away for some peace and quiet and near ferries. This hotel fit well with our plans. Service is good from concierge to reception to housekeeping and every area in the hotel. The gym facilities are wonderful.

Excellent hotel; superior staff; great pool and spa. We relaxed there every after long days of exploring. Location on the water was nice; breakfast on the patio was lovely. The concierge coordinated our every need. What you should expect from a Shangri-La.

The Shangri-La Bosphorus in Istanbul is the epitome of luxury. With breathtaking views of the Bosphorus, a stunning chandelier in the lobby, and luxury stores inside the hotel, every detail is exquisite. The swimming pool is the perfect place to unwind. The service and facilities are top-notch, offering an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for a lavish stay in a prime location!

We had a great stay at shangri-La, but on checkout day our flight got canceled cause of bad weather. frustrating, but we decided to extend. Mr. Umut Atay, the duty manager, made it easy—upgraded us again no questions asked. No fuss, just real hospitality. Big thanks to Umut and Ismail for turning a rough day around.
