Overview
The Peninsula Istanbul offers an indulgent escape along the Bosphorus in Karaköy, blending vibrant Turkish culture with top-tier hospitality. With 177 lavish rooms sprawled across four gorgeously restored buildings, expect to be spoilt with swanky amenities from pools to a spa and multiple dining spots. Ideal for city-break adventurers craving both chill time and cultural zest.
Location
Smack dab in the historic Karaköy district and hugging the Bosphorus waterfront, you’ll find yourself amidst the buzzy Galataport project. Must-sees like the Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace Museum, and Basilica Cistern are all within a short stroll—2300 metres, 2400 metres, and 2700 metres away, respectively. Getting about is a doddle too; the bus and train station, along with the closest bus and metro stop, are just 250 metres away, and the harbour is a handy 350 metres off.
Food & Drink
Dining here is a treat with tons of options to tickle your taste buds. Grab a bite at the swish café or sip on something tasty at the bar with light snacks. The main restaurant dishes up both gluten-free and veggie delights for lunch and dinner. Poolside and peckish? The snack bar by the pool has you covered. Throw in a banquet hall for those big do’s, and you’ve got a cracking scene for any appetite.
Sports & Entertainment
You won’t be short of things to do with a lineup of sports, entertainment, and chill-out spots. Dive into the indoor freshwater pool or the outdoor heated one. Fancy a pamper sesh? Hit the sauna, steam bath, hot tub, or traditional Turkish bath (hamam). There’s a spa centre offering lush treatments and massages, plus a hair and beauty salon. For the fitness buffs, a gym is at your disposal. And if you’re lounging by the outdoor pool, the poolside snack bar is spot on for a quick nibble.
Distance From Major Transportation Hubs
Getting around is a breeze with the nearest bus and metro stop just 250 metres away, and the harbour a mere 350 metres off, making it a slick spot for both land and sea travellers.
