Welcome to Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus. On the European bank of the Bosphorus – which flows through Istanbul’s history and heart – Four Seasons gives a 19th-century palace a fresh, eclectic spirit. Alluring facilities include a chic urban spa. Fine restaurants and pools by the quayside overlook the Asian shore. And all are awash in the light, space and excitement of this water’s-edge location.

"All in all, we found this to be an inspired hotel in every sense; a real urban resort that allows one to combine the unique culture of Istanbul with the warmth and languor of waterside living. Do go." Gallivanter's Guide (UK), February 2009
