Hotel The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul.

We spent six days exploring Istanbul, and the hotel's central position near public transport made getting around easy and inexpensive compared with private transport. We used the gym and spa every day to unwind after being out, and breakfast at the Ritz was a lovely start each morning, with lots of choice, a great atmosphere, and friendly service. We also ate at their Italian restaurant a couple of times, and both the food and service were great. The staff across guest services, room service, and the restaurants were impeccable. The concierge and guest services team gave excellent support before and during our visit. They arranged airport transport both ways and set up most of our main sightseeing activities, making our arrival in Istanbul seamless. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful week. We'll be back next year! Marty

The room was gorgeous, and the shower was spacious, luxurious, and comfortable. The property itself is beautiful and everything felt perfectly done. The crew were attentive and welcoming, making this one of my best hotel experiences. It surpassed what I expected, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommended.

The room was spacious enough and cleaned every day, and I really enjoyed the gym and indoor pool. There are two Michelin restaurants in the lobby, which makes dinner convenient if you don't feel like going out. The employees were friendly too. The only problem we had was that the shower temperature kept changing. It's easy to walk to the seaside, ferry, and subway station from here.

I was so glad I could sleep without earplugs. The neighborhood was quiet, the walls kept out sound, and I heard nothing from outside or the other guests. Rooms were large and clean, and there's even a pillow menu. Breakfast was good, with vegan options and lots of fruit. The hotel has three restaurants. We tried the main one for Turkish food and Japanese Nobu, and both were delicious. I'd definitely come back for a longer stay and highly recommend the hotel! 🙌😌
