Located 2.5 km from the Kız Kulesi, the hotel features 566 rooms with views of the city.

Location

Located about 15 minutes by car from the sultan Ahmed Blue Mosque, this 5-star hotel is also 3.4 km from Sirkeci railway station. Swissotel The Bosphorus is only 250 metres from Visnezade bus stop and fairly close to Visnezade Camii.

Leisure & Business

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul also provides a heated swimming pool with a hot tub. As part of its commitment to guest wellness, this accommodation includes a fitness studio featuring fitness classes. The hotel has a hammam spa and a spa salon along with a Turkish steam bath, a treatment room, a solarium, and a Jacuzzi to relax after a busy day. A conference centre with conference facilities and a photocopier are available for those travelling for business.

“This hotel strikes me as a place of contrasts: it's a luxury property with Bosphorus views and an award-winning spa, but some experiences seem inconsistent with its five-star aspirations. With its diverse restaurants and proximity to Dolmabahce Palace, it is an interesting base to explore the city from, but I think potential guests should weigh the elements carefully.”

an acceptable stay

panoramic window corner room rooftop restaurant delicious food sunny morning sea view uncomfortable table low height slow room service poor toilet paper low quality
i had a corner room with panoramic windows. the mornings and evenings were magical. i woke up to a sunny morning view with all the boats and seagulls (i quite enjoyed that). the rooftop restaurant had delicious food. the view was amazing.
The breakfast in the lounge was limited. the tables were not comfortable to eat on. It was a sofa with a low height. room service was slow. i waited 40-45 minutes each time. the quality of the toilet paper seemed low for a 5-star hotel. i've seen better in boutique hotels.
