The Peninsula Istanbul
Istanbul, Turkey
Since its debut in February 2023, The Peninsula Istanbul has been a big hitter on the city’s hotel scene. Crowned The World’s 50 Best Hotels’ One to Watch Award 2024 winner, this gem of the Bosphorus promises to join the global elite of luxury hotels. Set along Istanbul’s legendary waterway, the hotel fuses past and present with the Peninsula’s signature precision. Four interconnected buildings – each with a distinct personality – frame mind-stilling views of the city’s bridges and the Sultanahmet skyline. Among them is a 1937 cruise terminal, where careful restoration has preserved its historic soul, from intricate tiles to regal crown mouldings. But it’s the modern touches that steal the show. The cavernous spa comes with eight treatment rooms, a sleek gym and an indoor pool, while rooms are steeped in thoughtful luxuries, from cutting-edge gadgets to a nostalgic novelty – a combined fax/scanner/printer for those craving analogue charm. Atop the 1937 building, Gallada dazzles as Türkiye’s only two Michelin-starred restaurant. Chef Fatih Tutah’s inventive Turk-Asian creations pair with the Bosphorus’ refreshing breeze and twinkling city views for evenings that linger long into the night.
