Set in a late 18th century mansion (which recently went through a renovation process after being badly damaged in the 1930s), Hotel Les Ottomans is a great spot from which you can get a taste of traditional Turkey with all the contemporary comforts you could wish for.
The retreat offers stunning views of the former imperial capital of Istanbul from its great location on the shores of the Bosphorus. The atmosphere is an intriguing blend of traditional Ottoman and modern luxury, made even more appealing by the fact that the accommodations only consist of ten suites. Each of these rooms has thus seen the full attention of the passionate designers, with the result being a unique and luxurious space reflecting the glorious days of old.
Other highlights include Les Ottomans 29, an excellent restaurant serving the finest Italian cuisine (located indoors during the cold season, while in the summer the venue is on the Bosphorus waterfront), and the acclaimed Caudalie Vinothérapie spa, offering a variety of treatments and access to a Turkish hammam and a series of pools.
In order to take full advantage of its waterfront location, Hotel Les Ottomans also provides its guests with a range of boats, including a six-person speed boat, a tour boat for scenic rides up the Bosphorus, and the Ma Biche yacht.
