Decadent stay in historic Istanbul
Enjoy your city break in style at this luxurious hotel overlooking the mighty Bosphorus Strait, situated in the vibrant Besiktas district. Old Istanbul - also known as Tarihi Yarımada, the ‘Historical Centre’ - is reachable via ferry in under 25 minutes. Or if you would rather relax and enjoy the sunshine, take a 20-minute stroll to the beautiful Yildiz Park.
The hotel offers two fantastic restaurants, one serving Turkish, Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, the other offering a selection of Chinese-Cantonese dishes curated by a Michelin-starred chef. Start your day off right with a delicious breakfast buffet, where you will find a wide selection of hot and cold delicacies on offer.
Work up an appetite in the hotel’s onsite indoor pool, with an adjacent kid’s pool offering plenty of fun for the little ones. Fancy a holiday massage? The hotel also offers a range of luxurious therapies in their marble-clad spa.
Whether you’re looking for a private terrace overlooking the strait or an affordable family adventure, the wide selection of rooms on offer means there’s something for everyone. The beds are spacious and comfortable, while the opulent bathrooms feature marble details, heated flooring - and even wall-mounted televisions.

What Shangri La Bosphorus Istanbul has to offer
Hagia Sofia
Hagia Sophia is a magnificent Byzantine-Ottoman structure and UNESCO World Heritage site, with over 1,500 years of history. The mosque, originally built as a Byzantine cathedral, remains an iconic symbol of the city's rich heritage and cultural diversity. It features an enormous dome, soaring minarets and intricate mosaics with over 30 million gold tiles. Located only 30 minutes from the hotel via public transport, it can’t be missed.
Grand Bazaar
Step into the sparkling world of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, a historic site awash with vibrant sights, sounds and smells. Explore the bustling alleyways, savour the aroma of spices and coffee, and haggle for Turkish rugs, ceramics, jewellery and local delicacies. It’s a shopping experience unlike any other, steeped in rich history and cultural charm.
Discover Besiktas
The hotel’s location in Besiktas puts it amongst vibrant bars and restaurants, with the fascinating Naval Museum and quirky Palace Collections Museum on either side. The impressive Dolmabahce Palace – the largest palace in Turkey – is only a 10-minute walk away, while football fans might want to time their visit with one of Besiktas JK’s home matches to witness one of the most passionate crowds in Europe.
