Design & Luxury

The luxury hotel is spread out over four buildings. Three of them are listed and date from the early 20th century. They were all carefully renovated. Turkish art and Turkish design moved in. The urban oasis also boasts a 250-square-meter park that invites guests to stroll around.

Speaking of pleasure strolls: In the immediate vicinity you will find a promenade, art galleries, restaurants, boutiques and museums. And it's not far even to the city's main sights. The Sultanahmet district, the Galata Tower and the Galata Bridge are just a short walk away.

Urban oasis

177 exclusive rooms and suites are available. Whether with a view of the Bosporus, direct access to the garden, outdoor pool or boat dock, all accommodations are stylish places of tranquility. Furnished with modern design elements, kilim carpets, Marmara marble bathrooms, artwork and custom-made furniture add elegance. They also pay homage to the country's culture. The highlight is the 510-square-foot Peninsula Suite. It has its own hammam, gym and rooftop pool.

Generally accessible are the large Peninsula Spa and Wellness Centre. Here, too, guests wind down at the hammam. And they swim towards relaxation in the spectacularly lit indoor or outdoor pool. Spa therapists look after their guests' well-being in eight treatment rooms. The gym offers state-of-the-art equipment as well as classes and workshops. A special wellness portal gives guests access to exercise instructions, audio meditations and more, even in their rooms.

Culinary highlights

Whether you enjoy refined Turkish-Asian cuisine in the hotel's own rooftop restaurant, go to the legendary Peninsula Afternoon Tea or taste the international delicacies in The Lobby restaurant: The Peninsula Istanbul focuses on quality and taste. And the design factor is not neglected either. The Lobby, for example, impresses with high ceilings, huge windows and a breathtaking view of the sea.

The brand guarantees that service and amenities will not be neglected. Like its sister hotels, The Peninsula Istanbul will implement the Peninsula Promise. So there will be flexible check-in and check-out times here, too. Guests will also have access to the 24-hour digital concierge.
