With its spectacular location on the Bosphorus and contemporary grace, Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus reflects modern Istanbul’s changing fascade with the splendor of a 19th century Ottoman palace. Originally the historic Atik Pasha Palace, the hotel is located on the European coastline of the legendary Bosphorus and looks toward the hills of the Asian side. While the hotel interior presents a traditional Ottoman design approach, with its modern layout it becomes an eloquent starting point for its guests prior to exploring the exclusive shops, restaurants and bars of the city center. Opened in 2008, the hotel was recently elected as Europe’s Best Big City Hotel by the Travel + Leisure Magazine. Resembling a jewelry box with its 170 rooms, the project was brought to life by merging the original palace building with two additional modern buildings designed in traditional Turkish architecture. The hotel’s interior design arranged with minimal esthetic perception on one hand reminds coast housing and on the other hand is a reflection of the Ottoman elite’s summer housing on the Bosphorus with a decorative Turkish touch and traditional art elements..

At the end of an attentive restoration effort, Four Seasons Hotel Bosphorus opened in June 2008.

Together with this hotel, the total number of rooms for Four Seasons in Istanbul were increased to 235 and as a result, management productivity increased. With its unique view, atmosphere and impeccable services of its suites, rooms, ballrooms, restaurants, terrace, wedding garden and spa, Four Seasons Hotel Bosphorus offers an experience to its guests they do not want to end.
