The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed for two nights in June 2026 and had a great stay at the Ritz. It’s in a really convenient location - the major sights are just a short cab ride away, and there’s a ferry landing that’s a short walk away if you want to explore the Asian side of Istanbul. The staff were very friendly and helpful - they helped us with dinner reservations, directions, booking tours, etc. Although I didn’t go, my husband enjoyed the Turkish bath/sauna at the spa/fitness center. Lastly, I’d recommend getting the Club Room access - we stopped by multiple times to refuel (snacks, breakfast, drinks, etc). The noise from the nearby stadium during a concert didn’t bother me, although traffic around the hotel was greatly impacted - that’s the only thing I’d keep in mind! Would definitely stay there again."
