We receive a lot of feedback from our clients and friends about their first hand hotel experiences while travelling in Turkey. Here is a collection of favorites over the years.
For the ultimate in five-star luxury, we suggest the Four Seasons Bosphorus, Four Seasons Sultanahmet and the Kempinski Cirağan Palace. On the Asian side, Summahan on the Water is an unforgettable experience.
The W Hotel is located in the upscale neighborhoods close to Beşiktaş and Nişantaşı, and the Hotel Prince and Senatus are in the old city in Sultanahmet.
Our favorites are the Aussie owned Ayasofya as well as the fantastic food at Sirkeci Mansion Hotel in Sultanahmet, and on the Taksim side, the Tomtom Suites.
We suggest the Mandarin Oriental in Göltürkbükkü, the Kempinski Barbaros Bay in Yaliçiftlik, the Aman Ruya in Göltürkbükkü and The Marmara Bodrum.
Maça Kızı in Türkbükkü is a perennial favorite, and the new Marina-Go Hotel in central Bodrum is an adults only, well located modern hotel.
El Vino comes highly recommended, and Diamond of Bodrum is very well located as is the Marina Vista.
At the high-end we suggest D-Marin (formerly the Swissotel) but our personal favorite haunt is the Görkem Apart Hotel due to its cleanliness and hospitality.
