Ciragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul: a quick hotel tour and review

One of Turkey's most beautiful and storied grande dame hotels, Ciragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul is built around a 19th-century Ottoman palace and sits on the banks of the Bosporus.
The views from here are amazing, the architecture is incredible, and the infinity pool is perhaps the most glamorous in the city. This hotel tour shows you what you can expect if you stay here.

That’s beautiful! Which other luxury hotels would you recommend in Istanbul? Also, what is the most luxurious and beautiful hotel you’ve stayed in ever?

In Istanbul I think either of the Four Seasons could be a good shout, particularly the one on the Bosporus. So hard to pick a favourite hotel, but I love Ashford Castle, Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, and Banyan Tree Buahan in Bali.
