Set along the banks of the stunning Bosphorus – the meeting point of East and West in this beautiful historic city – The Peninsula Istanbul will soon welcome its first guests. The hotel, located in Istanbul’s Karaköy district, will anchor a new waterfront revitalization project called Galataport, to include a promenade, museums and art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, and a cruise ship port. The heritage property is also within walking distance of many of Istanbul’s most dazzling landmarks, such as Galata Tower, Galata Bridge and the famous Sultanahmet District.

Featuring classical-inspired architecture, The Peninsula Istanbul offers lush, landscaped gardens and swimming pools, one of which overlooks the Bosphorus. Many of its 177 opulent rooms and suites also have sweeping water views. Guests can savour sublime local and international cuisine at a choice of sophisticated restaurants, before indulging in the ancient Turkish tradition of hammam steam baths at The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre.

The Peninsula Istanbul also features a total of ten boutiques providing over 800 sq m of retail space to guests of exquisite taste. The Peninsula Arcades around the globe house many international luxury brands, offering curated shopping opportunities alongside unparalleled hotel experiences.
