The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul occupies the first 12 floors of Suzer Plaza, a sleek high-rise building overlooking the iconic Bosphorus. Embracing a panoramic view of Istanbul with its height, the structure stands tall in the core of the historic city. The property’s interior design has a contemporary spirit with classical touches and flair that pay homage to the city. Though centrally located, the building is accessed through a winding road diverting from main traffic routes, giving it a secluded position not readily accessible by pedestrian crowds.
The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul is behind one of the city’s major soccer stadiums (Vodafone Park), so in addition to the Bosphorus view, there is also a chance you’ll see an exciting match below. Luckily, the windows are soundproof to eliminate disturbance.
The property’s chic accommodations feature artistic local touches. Look out for glazed replicas of ancient Ottoman Empire coins and stunning cobalt-blue Anatolian ceramics in your room. All 243 rooms, including 23 suites are chicly decorated in a way that mimics the stunning Bosphorus. Wall-to-wall windows put the city on full display, especially in strait-facing rooms. In most accommodations, the plush beds face the gorgeous view so you can wake up to a stellar sunrise over the bustling waterway. To make the most of your waterside locale, book the Terrace Suite. This 1,920-square-foot space affords panoramic Bosphorus vistas from an expansive outdoor dining area, complete with a Jacuzzi and fire pit.
