"Princes’ Palace occupies a celebrated spot on Büyükada, the largest of Istanbul’s Princes’ Islands. Once a retreat for Ottoman royals and intellectuals, the island still feels worlds away from the city. The resort draws from this legacy with colonnaded walkways, sculpted gardens, and sea-facing suites styled with layered detail and ease. Views take in the Marmara or manicured courtyards, and the only sounds are gulls and bicycle bells. It is Istanbul: rewound, reimagined, and just offshore." - Tablet Hotels
