Located within a coveted 200-meter coastal stretch along the Bosphorus, the Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus emerges as the epitome of an urban oasis. With 100 luxury guest rooms and suites, many of which unveil breathtaking Bosphorus views, the hotel exudes a distinctive charm inspired by the yalıs —Ottoman waterfront mansions lining the Bosphorus. Adding a culinary attraction to its repertoire, Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus introduces the award-winning Novikov Restaurant from London to Istanbul for those who would like to indulge in a fusion of Italian and Asian cuisines.
TIME OUT TIP: For a refreshing start to the day, lace up your jogging shoes for a scenic run along the Bosphorus, followed by rejuvenating stretches in Kuruçeşme or Bebek parks. As night falls, consider immersing yourself in the cultural tapestry of Istanbul with a musical performance at the Zorlu Performance Arts Center.
