Review
Set in the chic Nişantaşı quarter, the St. Regis Istanbul fits right in among neighboring fashion houses such as Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Michael Kors. The hotel is undeniably theplace to stay for stylish travelers looking for a quieter location outside the congested metropolis. The service at the St. Regis ranks among the best in the city, and all accommodations come with butler service.
The seven-story building has a sleek, contemporary vibe and houses 118 rooms and suites, overlooking either a beautiful park or the fashionable street below. Rooms are extremely spacious and somewhat minimalist in style, with muted tones of beiges and browns. Those who are interested in cars should book the hotel’s specialty suite, the Bentley Suite, which was decorated in partnership with the luxury car brand and utilizes materials from Bentley vehicles.
The rooftop restaurant Spago (from world-famous chef Wolfgang Puck) is another highlight for guests and locals alike. Featured in the Michelin guide, it serves fabulous cuisine with American, Asian and Italian flavors and has an outdoor bar for pre-dinner drinks. Plus, don’t miss the 950-square-meter Iridium Spa, one of the top wellness centers in Istanbul and a welcome oasis after a long day of touring. The stunning, modern facilities comprise multiple treatment rooms, three pools, two hammams and a tea bar.
Who Should Stay
Travelers looking for a sophisticated location near high-end shopping with stylish interiors and reliable service. Travelers who would prefer to stay on the waterfront or in close proximity to the main sites, as well as those looking for more traditional décor, may be happier elsewhere.
