Treasures of Istanbul

Once known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, Istanbul is the only city in the world divided over two continents, Europe and Asia. For more than 1,000 years, it was also the capital of two empires, Christian and Muslim. It is an immense living museum and a major port and modern trade and cultural center.

Choosing a hotel in a city like Istanbul is challenging. It pays to take the advice of seasoned travelers. The annual Travel & Leisure World's Best Hotels list is a definitive guide to leading hotels around the globe chosen by the magazine's professional travel editors and reporters. Hotels are evaluated on rooms, amenities, service and special features. Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul ranks high on this prestigious list. It is also a member of the Leading Hotels of the World 5-star luxury hotels in Turkey.

Rising majestically on the European side of the city, Swissôtel Istanbul is a contemporary hotel in a historic setting of the former gardens of an Ottoman palace. It is a legendary and luxurious base for exploring the treasures of Istanbul. Standard rooms are spacious, comfortable and well-appointed.
