Fodor's Review:

This plush hotel is one of Turkey's premier accommodations, with a broad range of top-class facilities. The 19-floor building sits on a ridge, looking out on Istanbul and the Bosphorus, and the ornate lobby conjures Ottoman splendor: as if the gold-and-glass spiral staircase and fountain weren't enough, potted palm trees are also strategically placed. Rooms are spacious, with attractive if somewhat traditional decor and floor-to-ceiling windows; those on the water side have particularly good views. The spa and gym were completely renovated in 2008, and you can jog on a treadmill while looking out over a breathtaking view of the Bosphorus. Pros: high-class service; elegant feel; impressive views. Cons: high cost of food, drinks, and Internet; hotel caters primarily to business travelers.
