The celebrated Hôtel Les Ottomans beckons guests with its coveted location, exquisite interiors and on-site Caudalíe Vinothérapie® Spa.
On the banks of the Bosphorus, Istanbul’s active and scenic waterway, the property resides in what was once a pasha’s 18th-century mansion. A meticulous, extravagant restoration of the stately home pays lavish tribute to Istanbul’s Baroque revival. Each of the boutique hotel’s ten suites has been designed with the principles of feng shui in mind, coupled with stylish and luxurious detailing reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire’s golden era. Accommodations come complete with the latest technology perfect for business travelers, and the hotel’s vinotherapy spa, the first and only of its kind in Turkey, is a blissful retreat for vacationers and honeymooners.
