“Best Hotel in Istanbul”
Beautiful new hotel in the best location in turkey with the best service.
“Wonderful, but not quite as good as its neighbour!”
This hotel is one of the most beautiful ones you will sever see. And yet I would still rate the neighbouring Kempinski hotel higher for two reasons: 1) This hotel was, in my opinion, not Turkish enough. Turkey has one of the most beautiful aesthetics anywhere, and yet the rooms did not look particularly Turkish, sticking instead to a more general Western interior with just small Turkish details like the cups in the bathroom and painted details on the ceiling. I would have preferred more Ottoman style rugs, cushions, etc. because that would have been in line with the atmosphere of the location. 2) Although I cannot fault the service, it was more flawless in the neighbouring hotel. One small detail: when I left the Kempinski, the head concierge and his assistant, as well as two receptionists, came outside to the hotel entrance to wave to me and stayed there until my car was out of sight. That summed up the whole stay for me: perfect, right until the very end. This place was very efficient and courteous, but the warmth was not as impressive as its neighbour's. Huge points for a beautiful spa, though! If you just want to relax, then this is the place! The restaurant Aqua is also well worth a visit. I had no idea that Turkey produced such wonderful wines.
“Enjoyed Four Seasons Bosphorus”

“Out of this world”

“My stay at the Four Seasons at the Bosphorus”
I could not recommend this hotel highly enough. The staff were courteous, friendly, and could not do enough for you. I cannot find a single thing to complain about!
“Luxury Living”
Beautiful hotel with amazing views of Bosphorous. Customer service of all hotel staff was faultless. Made you feel like royalty. Only downside were a busy main road and poor surrounding public footpaths.
