Shangri-La Bosphorous

Istanbul welcomes its newest luxury hotel with the opening of the Shangri-La Bosphorus, Istanbul on 11 May 2013. The opulent 186-room hotel is the second in Europe for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, which hails from the other city where East famously meets West. Hong Kong Shangri-La brought its inimitable Asian “hospitality from the heart” to Paris in 2010 and now adds Istanbul to its growing list of international gateway cities.

Set on the European side of the Bosphorous Strait between the Dolmabahce Palace and Naval Museum, Shangri-La Bosphorous, Istanbul overlooks the unfolding panorama of Istanbul’s domes and minarets and the green hills of the city’s Asian shores. It is located on the site of a former tobacco warehouse from the 1930s. The warehouse’s restored, six-storey Neo-Classical façade and two carefully preserved 150- and 350-year-old Sycamore trees in the courtyard give testament to the past.

Location

Set within the Besiktas district, Istanbul’s main shopping and transport hub, the hotel is close to the city’s financial district and the Istanbul Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Rooms

The hotel comprises 186 elegantly appointed guest-rooms including 17 expansive suites, some of the largest rooms in Istanbul city. Rooms are characterised by contemporary décor with Asian highlights and many offer breathtaking views of the Bosphorus. All rooms are outfitted with every amenity expected of a five-star hotel and provide Shangri-La’s free high-speed broadband Internet.

Activities

The hotel also features CHI, a spa with eight of the most indulgent private spa suites in Istanbul offering Asian and Turkish treatments. The hotel’s hammam facilities are extensive, catering to both private groups and individuals. Both the spa and hammam feature Turkish tiles, water features and abundant marble. A health club with sauna, Jacuzzi and steam rooms, and a heated indoor pool are also available to hotel guests.

Cuisine

Shang Palace restaurant, where chefs from China prepare delectable Chinese cuisine and carve Peking Duck tableside while the Kung Fu tea master pours tea.

IST TOO is a feast for the eyes with a sushi bar; vast Wine Salon with full-height, glazed wine cabinets; a noodle station with a Chinese chef pulling noodles, and an open kitchen where chefs cook over the 12-metre grill.
