Fodor's Expert Review Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus
Çırağan Cad. 28, Istanbul, Istanbul, 34349, Turkey
This restored, 19th-century Ottoman palace with two modern wings exudes luxury in rooms and suites, a quarter of which have Bosphorus views (others have garden and city views), that are elegant yet understated, with soaring ceilings, muted tones, and Ottoman touches such as handcrafted mirrors. The marble-lined bathrooms, with deep tubs and separate showers, feel downright palatial. The stunning spa has saunas, steam rooms, Turkish baths, and one of Istanbul's loveliest indoor pools; the outdoor pool is just steps from the water's edge.
