Raffles Istanbul
5 stars
Fr £374 per room night
General
The brand new five-star Raffles hotel is perched high above the Bosphorus, in the stunning Zorlu Center, overlooking the extraordinary and exciting city of Istanbul. The newest Raffles destination is the perfect location for exploring this incredible city, with its striking mix of modern and ancient architecture, and vibrant blend of Eastern and Western culture.
Room Description
Raffles Istanbul has a mix of 132 spacious Deluxe, Premier, and Signature rooms and 49 Silhouette, Urban, Horizon, Continents and Raffles suites, all with panoramic views over the city. All the rooms are light, airy, with a blend of contemporary and traditional Turkish design and wonderful floor-to-celiing windows. The guestrooms and suites have air-conditioning, in-room dining, tea and coffee making facilities, and large furnished private terrace, plus the legendary Raffles butler service. The marble bathrooms are sumptuous, with double vanities, mirror TVs, and separate bathtubs and showers and luxury toiletries. For the last word in luxury though, book the Raffles suite, which has two bedrooms, living dining and dressing rooms, as well as space for exercising, working and entertaining. Other treats include helicopter transfers to and from the airport, a 30-minute helicopter or private yacht tour, private chef’s table, champagne on arrival, a couples massage in a private treatment…
Activities
The Raffles spa and wellness area is a revitalizing oasis of calm and relaxation in the heart of this vibrant city. There is an outdoor pool with stunning views, and an indoor pool that’s flooded with natural light, as well as saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools, experience showers and ice fountains. For exercise, there is a yoga and pilates studio, personal training, Techonogym equipment and a hair and nail salon – so no excuses for not looking your best at all times. If you can drag yourself away, the city beckons – with wonderful shopping experiences in the colourful bazaars, unmissable palaces and souks, river trips down the Bosphorus, and of course the restaurants, bars and clubs.
For business travellers,, Raffles is fully geared up for events and conferences, with spaces big enough to hold car launches (there is a specially designed vehicle entrance into the ballroom) and small enough for intimate dinners.
Dining
Raffles has wonderful choice of dining opportunities, with two signature restaurants, two bars and lounges and a patisserie. The Rocca restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine with a Turkish influence, and an international buffet, while Arola offers a blend of modern and traditional cooking. The Long Bar is open to guests and locals for drinks and light snacks, while the Writers Bar is a tranquil haven for guests only. The Lavinia patisserie has a tempting range of pastries and delicious tea and coffee, the Pool Bar & Grill is open in summer with outdoor seating and fabulous views, and Lounge 6 is a lively venue offering live music and entertainment.
