ACTIVITIES:

Positioned right on the European side of the Bosphorus, this lovely Four Seasons hotel has wonderful views across to Asia and the old town of Istanbul, and is away from the immediate hustle and bustle of the city.
Once a 19th century palace, the building has been transformed and opened in 2008 as a beautiful hotel with 141 rooms and 25 Suites. The fantastic terrace at the front of the hotel is right on the waters edge. Guests can relax here making the most of Istanbul’s mild climate, enjoying lunch or drinks and watching the boats pass by, or take a dip in the riverside infinity pool which is heated all year round.
The hotel itself is situated about 15 minutes from the centre of town (depending on Istanbul’s infamous traffic!) We can arrange a private car with guide and driver to help you explore the history, stunning sights and architecture of Istanbul. Alternatively, it is easy to hop in a taxi to the station, and then take the tram into the heart of the Sultanahmet – there are fantastic views of the city whilst passing over the river.
The hotel has 170 rooms including 25 suites all bright and airy, blending Ottoman design details and contemporary furnishings with a variety of waterfront, garden and city views. A lavish marble bathroom offers a deep soaking tub, separate glass enclosed shower, and a WC with telephone in a separate alcove. All rooms include a large plasma TV and stereo system with CD and DVD players and are equipped for wired and wireless high speed internet.
