The Shangri-La Bosphorus is a luxurious hotel located on the European side of the city, set in a 1930s building overlooking the iconic Bosphorus Strait. In usual Shangri-La style, the hotel features elegant rooms and suites with stunning views, modern amenities, and opulent Ottoman design elements - it’s worth splurging on one of the Bosphorus rooms for the best waterfront views, especially the Barbaros and Shangri-La suites, which come with sweeping terraces. The property also boasts a beautiful spa and hammam, fitness center, indoor pool, and several dining options, including the Shang Palace restaurant, which serves authentic Cantonese cuisine.

The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Taksim Square and the surrounding gay nightlife. The stunning Dolmabahçe Palace, former seat of the Ottoman Empire and a lesser-known Istanbul gem, is under a 10-minute walk away.
