Bosphorus Palace Hotel

The story of Bosphorus Palace Hotel, one of the finest examples of Neo-Ottoman architecture, begins some 36 years ago with a fire that broke out in a waterfront mansion on the shores of Beylerbeyi. The Waterfront Mansion, which became unusable through this unfortunate event, was rebuilt on the basis of its photographs and survey drawings and opened its doors to guests. With its gilded and notched ceiling decorations adorned with Ottoman motifs, its splendid crystal chandeliers, its original imperial edicts and its manuscripts, it carries the culture of the waterfront mansion into the present day.  In its 24 rooms, the wooden furniture covered with 18-carat gold leaf is designed entirely with Italian craftsmanship. The room bathrooms are designed in English style and offered for guests' use. In its 200-year-old boathouse, turned into a restaurant, you can push the limits of pleasure with a romantic dinner. Sabiha Gökçen Airport is 35 km away.
