The Peninsula Istanbul

Set along the banks of the stunning Bosphorus, located in the Karaköy district of Istanbul, the Peninsula Istanbul offers a diverse array of accommodation choices. 177 rooms and suites provide sweeping views over the water from floor to ceiling windows, balconies, and private terraces; others include direct access to the magnificent gardens, expansive swimming pool, private boat dock, and stylish restaurants and bars. All have been decorated with bespoke furnishings, modern interpretations of Turkish design elements like wood-and-mother-of-pearl inlay and kilim-style carpets, and sumptuous baths clad in Marmara marble. 

For dining the Peninsula Istanbul offers two distinctive dining venues. Enjoy an elegant, airy space with double-height ceilings and dazzling Bosphorus views from both main and mezzanine levels at The Lobby. Here you can savour all-day Mediterranean-influenced fare, lavish Sunday brunch and signature Peninsula Afternoon Tea. The restaurant regularly showcases live music performers, and offers a sweeping outdoor terrace, surrounded by landscaped gardens and overlooking the hotel’s private boat dock. 

The hotel’s featured rooftop restaurant, Gallada offers sophisticated Turk-Asian cuisine and libations in memorable dining areas, including an expansive rooftop terrace with unparalleled views over the Bosphorus and hotel gardens. 

If you wish to truly indulge then the Peninsula Spa and Wellness Centre is the perfect place for you during your stay. Relax in any of the eight private treatment rooms – two of them for couples – or sweat it out in one of the saunas or lavish hammams.
