The 3500-square-metre Spa at Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus has luxury treatment rooms, hammams, fitness facilities and an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Adjacent to Kuruçeşme and Bebek parks, extensive pathways for walking and jogging are on the doorstep.

For corporate and social events, the hotel has three expansive ballrooms, a garden terrace and pool area, and six meeting rooms.

The nightlife of Kuruçeşme is a short walk away. Istanbul’s major attractions, historical sites, business district and Taksim Square are a cab ride away. It’s just under an hour’s drive to Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen international airports.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group COO Christoph Mares says: “We’re delighted to be opening this stunning urban resort in one of the world’s most exciting destinations and look forward to bringing Mandarin Oriental’s renowned quality of service to Istanbul. This marks the Group’s second entry into Turkey, and promises to be the perfect complement to the award-winning Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum which opened in 2017.”
