Mandarin Oriental Opens Luxury Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey

(22 Aug 2021)
Mandarin Oriental has expanded its enviable portfolio
of luxury hotels with a new property on the shore of the Bosphorus
in Istanbul, Turkey.

Located just 15 minutes from the CBD and the
city’s central Taksim Square, the Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus,
Istanbul is a short drive from major attractions,
historical sites and museum, while Kuruçeşme and Bebek parks are
just a quick walk away.

The 100-room hotel is well placed to become one of
the city’s best locations for dining and entertaining, introducing
the globally renowned Novikov concepts to Istanbul with the main
Novikov restaurant directly on the shorefront, a classic Novikov
Lounge Bar, a Bosphorus Lounge with waterfront terrace and the
Novikov Pool Bar in a garden oasis.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus offers an
extensive range of wellness and beauty therapies and includes
luxury treatment rooms, hammams, private relaxation areas,
exercise and fitness facilities as well as an indoor and outdoor
swimming pool.

For corporate and social events, the hotel
features three expansive ballrooms, a garden terrace and pool
area, and six meeting rooms. There is also an unique open space
which can be hired and decorated in a bespoke manner befitting of
special occasions and celebrations.

“We are delighted to be opening this stunning
urban resort in one of the world’s most exciting destinations and
look forward to bringing mandarin Oriental’s renowned quality of
service to Istanbul. This marks the group’s second entry into
Turkey, and promises to be the perfect complement to the
award-winning Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum which opened in 2017,”
said Christoph Mares, Chief Operating Officer for Mandarin
Oriental Hotel Group.
