Where Heritage Architecture Meets Contemporary Luxury

A Palace Reimagined on the Shores of the Bosphorus

Anchored in a 19th-century Ottoman palace, Four Seasons Bosphorus reflects the soulful blend of East and West that defines Istanbul itself. Soaring vaulted ceilings, Turkish marble columns, and hand-tiled mosaics wrap you in legacy, while thoughtfully modern suites open to breathtaking views of the strait.

Each room is a haven of comfort and design, balancing time-honoured Turkish aesthetics with contemporary lines and soft textures. Whether you’re watching boats drift by at dawn or winding down beneath golden chandeliers, you’ll feel the weight of centuries softened by curated hospitality.

Refined Indulgence Through Local Flavour and Ritual

From Sunday Brunches to Sunset Kebabs and Spa Journeys

Days at the Bosphorus begin with waterfront breakfasts and unfold into curated indulgence across every corner. Highlights include:

  • A legendary Sunday Brunch featuring seasonal spreads and panoramic views over the Bosphorus
  • A pop-up Turkish Mangal terrace bringing sizzling kebabs and regional mezze under the open sky
  • The Homemade Chocolate Workshop, a hands-on pastry experience guided by the hotel’s expert chocolatiers

And when you need to slow down, the hotel’s Spa Journeys offer a poetic approach to relaxation. Begin with a traditional Turkish hammam, where centuries of ritual cleansing meet luxe Four Seasons serenity. Follow it with a personalized massage in a private suite surrounded by warm stone and calming water reflections. You’ll leave feeling not only pampered, but profoundly restored.
