Stay in an Ottoman Palace

In Istanbul, the past echoes in the waves of the Bosphorus. The Ciragan Palace Kempinski is an indispensable part of this fascinating story, watching the tides rise and fall with the city. Once a palace, now a hotel, the Ciragan Palace Kempinski is the only Ottoman palace hotel on the Bosphorus. It was expanded from the palace of an Ottoman sultan and is located in the heart of Istanbul on the European side of the Bosphorus, close to the city's main attractions and offering the best views of the strait. Most of the hotel's rooms offer views of the sunrise and sunset over the strait and the boats passing through the sea gate. Staying at the hotel is like staying in a landscape and history, giving you many reasons not to want to go out. The hotel was redesigned in 2023, perfectly blending its rich historical heritage with modern elegance, combining classic design elements with innovative ideas to engrave the extraordinary past on the walls of the hotel. The hotel's decor uses different room colors to symbolize the various historical stages of the Ottoman era. From the use of mother-of-pearl to ebony-inlaid furniture, from Turkish bath-style marble bathrooms to mirrored folding screens, the luxurious atmosphere of this palace hotel is highlighted, reflecting the exquisite Ottoman heritage. The infinity pool reflects the splendor of the hotel on one end and connects to the vastness of the Bosphorus on the other, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing swim in the hot summer and the fun of swimming in a heated pool surrounded by snow in the winter.
