Stay in the Heart of an AMAZING CITY

Travelling to one of the most spectacular cities in the world to experience one of the finest five-star hotels in all of Europe proved to be an unforgettable adventure.

There are many magical places around the globe that travellers long to visit. However, there are a few that stand out in people’s minds due to the abundance of history, culture, architecture, beautiful weather and amazing cuisine they offer. Istanbul, in Türkiye, is one of these places. This beautiful and colourful metropolis is the only city that straddles both Europe and the Middle East, making it simultaneously a European and Asian city. We were invited to experience this bucket-list destination for four spectacular days and three unforgettable nights by the five-star hotel Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus.

Our Arrival

As soon as we disembarked our flight, we were greeted by a hotel delegate and whisked away to our five-star accommodation. On route, we caught a sneak peek of the splendour awaiting us in Istanbul. This breathtaking location, with its grand architecture, an assortment of mosques, vibrant colours and rich history, was enough to keep our eyes wide open in sheer awe at all the splendour to be discovered.

The Rooms

Arriving at Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus, courteous and professional staff were on hand to welcome us and attend to our every need. We were soon booked in and heading to our respective suites. We all agreed it had to be one of the friendliest and most efficient airport-to-hotel-room experiences we’ve ever had.

All 553 guest accommodations, including suites, are of exceptional standard – we had the pleasure of inspecting numerous types, including rooms and a variety of luxury suites.

I was booked into the beautiful King Deluxe Room and couldn’t have been more pleased with my corner of the hotel. This stylish and modern space offers all the amenities you could need for a comfortable and pampered stay. With its king-sized bed, soundproof windows, free wi-fi, Nespresso machine, 40-inch LCD TV and a Turkish-style bathroom complete with rain shower, I couldn’t have felt more content.

The Cuisine

The Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus ensured we were delighted in all aspects, especially when it came to meal times.

The Summit Bar & Terrace

On the first evening, we were invited to attend a meal at the Summit Bar and Terrace, located all the way up on the 14th floor. The panoramic views of the city and the Bosphorus Strait that welcomed us on the rooftop enhanced the feeling of wonder that accompanies the experience of an exotic new location.

Our first culinary experience at the hotel was memorable as we were spoilt with scrumptious dishes from around the world. The Japanese options at this venue were exquisite and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, along with the bird’s eye view of the city.
