If you go sooner

One hotel from the guide if you travel sooner.

The hotel seen from the Bosphorus at dusk: its pale buildings on the quay, the gardens and the outdoor pool, with the Galata Tower on the hill behind.

The Peninsula Istanbul

For the Bosphorus at the door and an outdoor pool on the water.⁷

The trade-off

Light sleepers should request the Bosphorus side: street-facing rooms hear the bars.⁷

Why choose it

Peninsula Time offers flexible arrival and departure, with 24 hours’ notice; conditions and blackout dates apply.⁷
