Superb hospitality from start to finish.

Fantastic. Lovely property any a true refuge from the fast, crowded pulse of the beautiful big city of Istanbul. Having the pool after a day of sight seeing or shopping was very enjoyable and relaxing. The spa was beautiful and the trainer in the gym was extremely nice and helpful! The concierge team was so helpful. Superb staff throughout from checkin to checkout!

Excellent hotel directly on the Bosphorus, with a beautiful promenade and close to many restaurants. The only downside is that the front of the hotel is always crowded and there’s too much traffic.”

Our stay at The Peninsula Istanbul was an unforgettable experience of pure luxury and hospitality. The hotel is breathtaking-elegant, refined, and designed with incredible attention to detail. Every space, from the stunning lobby to the tranquil spa, feels thoughtfully curated. Our high-tech room was beautifully appointed, blending cutting-edge convenience with comfort and style. The staff throughout the hotel were warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming, striking the perfect balance between high-end service and friendly charm. A real highlight was the complimentary chauffeur-driven car, a beautiful and convenient way to explore the local area - just one of many thoughtful touches that set this hotel apart. The hammam treatment was sublime, leaving us completely relaxed, while the pool and spa area were both visually stunning and deeply calming. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant was a delight, with delicious food and impeccable service. From start to finish, The Peninsula Istanbul exceeded every expectation. A perfect blend of luxury, warmth, and world-class service - highly recommended.

Everything about The Peninsula was exceptional, from the attentiveness of the excellent staff in all areas to the superb rooms and facilities. I'm often critical but can find absolutely nothing but praise for this excellent hotel and I cannot wait to return, which I will do soon. It was our wedding anniversary during our stay and the beautiful hand-written card and treats were VERY much appreciated, we were really touched and it made the day, thank you to all the thoughtful and thoroughly delightful staff at The Peninsular.
