Çiragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul Review

Once a residence for the Ottoman sultans, the late 19th-century Çiragan Palace (pronounced chi-rahn) is Istanbul's most luxurious hotel, with ornate public spaces that feel absolutely decadent and a breathtaking setting right on the Bosphorus—the outdoor infinity pool seems to hover on the water's edge and most rooms, full of Ottoman-inspired wood furnishings and textiles in warm colors, have balconies overlooking the Bosphorus as well. Large bathrooms feature marble tubs. Almost all lodgings are in the new wing, though there are 11 suites in the palace itself, including the €30,000 per night Sultan's Suite—start saving now.
