Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul

Kempinski Hotels · Between Beşiktaş and Ortaköy, on the Bosphorus

The only Ottoman imperial palace on the Bosphorus operating as a hotel, the Çırağan pairs a restored 19th-century sultan's palace with a modern wing, for 317 rooms and suites refreshed in a 2023 remodel. The palace holds the most coveted suites and event spaces in the city; the infinity pool sits at the water's edge with the strait as its horizon. Its footprint and shoreline position remain unrivalled among the Bosphorus grand hotels.

Why we recommend it

Istanbul's definitive palace hotel, offering genuine imperial rooms alongside the largest and best-sited grounds on the European shore.
