"For timeless elegance Time swallowed the remnants of an abandoned property only to be resurrected years later in summer 2021 by the same team behind Mandarin Oriental’s Bodrum outpost. Nestled in Beşiktaş, this shorefront urban retreat is surrounded by a protected forest and waterside residences where you’ll find fewer tourists and more locals out on morning jogs—offering a pitch-perfect balance of crowd-free, yet still close enough to the buzzy Old Town. The 100 rooms, brilliantly concocted by Tihany Design, capture the essence of Istanbul: tulip-shaped tiles adorn the bathrooms, Ottoman çintamani emblems are in the mini bar and tree of life-inspired motifs plaster the walls. Wood coverings accompany the yacht-style interiors, subtly tying in with the ones floating by just outside your room. Eighty of the rooms, which are spread across three floors, have widescreen Bosphorus views, allowing you to sleep in Europe and wake up to Asia with minaret towers graciously standing by iconic landmarks. The dining scene here is as much for locals as hotel guests, with options ranging from refined Italian to Asian-Italian fusion, and Cantonese cuisine joining later in mid-2023—all of which come with shorefront seats on the terrace where the lucky ones can spot dolphins swim by. The terrace also houses two pools, with the third one in the spa and wellness center below ground. Speaking of the spa, there are 14 treatment rooms including head-to-toe marbled hammams. The masseuses for your deep-tissues were trained from Turkey and Indonesia and the facials feature products from Barbara Sturm. There’s also a gym studio with enclosed yoga, cycle, and reformer pilates spaces."
"Opened in summer 2021, this Bosphorus-front hotel feels like an exclusive urban resort with about 100 serene rooms, sparkling pools, a palatial spa, and an indoor-outdoor design by Tihany Design. Its dining scene draws a fashionable crowd—sushi at the sceny Novikov is a favorite of the city’s well-heeled set, while Olea serves Italian pizzas and pastas enjoyed to views of ferries and the calls to prayer across the water. An outpost of Hakkasan offering neo-Cantonese fusion and creative dim sum is expected to open in summer, further expanding the property’s culinary appeal." - Anya von Bremzen
"A luxury hotel with multiple dining spaces offering indoor-outdoor experiences along the Bosphorus. The menus combine European and Asian influences."
"Set along a quiet stretch of the Bosphorus, this Mandarin Oriental leans into understatement: rare for Istanbul, and rarer still for a hotel of this scale. The low-rise form draws from the waterfront mansions that still line this stretch of the strait. Rooms come with embroidered motifs, tulip-patterned tiles, and balconies that open onto the Bosphorus, with Beylerbeyi Palace just across the water. Most of the hotel’s six floors sit underground, housing a vast spa and event spaces. Above ground, dining brings in locals and guests alike, especially when the city lights start to flicker." - Tablet Hotels
