Four Seasons Istanbul at the Bosphorus
Istanbul, Turkey
Four Seasons gives a 19th-century palace a fresh, eclectic spirit. The hotel offers 170 guest rooms including 25 suites. Bright and airy, blending Ottoman design details and contemporary furnishings, they open to balmy sea breezes and a variety of waterfront, garden and city views. Standard rooms feature a large plasma television and stereo system with CD and DVD players. All rooms are equipped for high-speed Internet access.
The hotel is located on the European bank of the Bosporus which flows through Istanbul’s history and heart. Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport is 25 kilometers from the hotel.
The Spa takes inspiration from the enduring mystique and unique qualities of the hammam, famous since Ottoman times. Serenity, purity and cleansing embody all facets of the guest experience. The 2000-square-metre facility offers 10 luxurious treatment rooms (including a private spa suite for two); steam rooms, saunas, hammams and a breathtaking sky lit indoor pool. Nurturing and personal Four Seasons care ensures a relaxing, renewing journey that honors ancient Near Eastern tradition, while celebrating modern Western sophistication.
Diamond Luxury Lifting Facial is a world-class anti-ageing treatment designed to reveal rejuvenated skin. Combining shiatsu massage and facial lifting with the gentle caress of aromatherapy, the treatment’s exclusive ingredients penetrate the deepest layers of skin to redefine face with intense hydration and regeneration.
Atik Pasha Surrender Massage is a pure indulgence as two Four Seasons spa care experts massage the entire body in unison.
Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosporus basks in the coastal resort ambience of the historic strait of the Bosporus – with its vibrant jazz clubs and designer shops, and where reflections of private palaces shimmer in the wake of passing yachts. Within 5-minute walk there’s a private jetty from where guests can go cruising. On its way to the Black Sea, the cruise stops at various fishing villages.
Overlooking the Bosporus, Aqua showcases fine Mediterranean cuisine, with Italian and Turkish specialties and signature dishes that feature fish and lamb. A breakfast buffet features international offerings, while lunch and dinner offer an a la carte menu accompanied by an exceptional range of fine wines. A children’s menu is available.
At Pool Bar & Grill guests can enjoy light meals and snacks, including salads, grilled kebabs and fresh fish, served from a kiosk by the pool and quayside.
Adjacent to the Hotel lobby, the Lobby Bar & Lounge offers an intimate space for business and social occasions. Featuring lovely views over the Strait from its terrace, this all-day venue offers tasty snacks, afternoon tea, champagne and wine served by the glass, classical and contemporary cocktails, and cigars. All are accompanied by live piano music that continues into the evening.
