Çırağan Palace Kempinski

Magical place to be! Went here with my fiancé for dinner and drinks on one of our last nights on vacation. We felt like royalty. It was so intriguing to see the grounds and learn about the history of this palace.

I have tried two dishes of salmon. It was amazing! View is perfect. Classy and romantic. I loved it.

Pure magic! Incredible views await you at this palace on the coast of Istanbul. The architecture as utterly amazing and the garden villa is a must-​see. If you have time you simply must sit down and enjoy a glass of tea here!

Cirgan is a Beautiful ottoman palace with an exquisite view of Bosphorus and the bridge (nice view of the bridge with sparking lights at night) Interior is a bit outdated, service above avg, food options– not good for vegans/​vegetarians. Infiniti pool looks amazing but closed during cold seasons as well as the outdoor areas. It’s ideal for warmer seasons.
Four seasons next door is a better option with same view, international food options, and outstanding service.

Amazing!
My sister advised me to try Kempinski, and she was right! I am so thankful to her because in this hotel you will never have home sick because you will feel home! I am so happy to meet the lovely Turkish Fatima in the guest relation.
I loved the atmosphere in the breakfast buffet with all friendly welcoming staffI’ve never enjoyed a hotel in my life like I did in here! Looking forward to enjoying my stay next February if God Welling!

We had a lovely high tea here. Served buffet style in an opulent setting looking out over the Bosphorous, you could not ask for a better view. The service was excellent and the choice of items delightful. The shopping area is full of some amazing jewelry stores, definitely check that area out.

I took a red-​eye flight from Washington DC to Istanbul on Turkish Airways. The airport ride is about 45 minutes to the palace. Check In went smoothly, my room is gorgeous! I have a view of the pool and the Bosphorus!
The service is wonderful, food is delightful (I have eaten at all of the restaurants on site) Overall, this is a five star experience. I wouldn’t expect anything less from one of The Leading Hotels of the World!

Opulent is an understatement. I was here for an event so I can’t say much about the rooms but the venue is beautiful. Definitely take a stroll outside as it’s right on the Bosphorous.

This hotel has an amazing pool and the service is best in class! We enjoyed our time here over the course of a week and never once questioned our decision. Be sure to check as they have multiple corporate discounts in addition to the traditional seasonal and AAA discounts.

— 5-​star hotel located on the European shores of the Bosphorus (between Besiktas and Ortakoy)
— service very obliging; everyone takes very much care of the guests
— nice, spacious rooms (I had one with garden view)
— gym not too spacious, but still adequate (water, apples, towels incl.)
— breakfast in restaurant Laledan highly recommended (huge variety of food)
— several restaurants for dinner (Tugra is recommended: Turkish food, great atmosphere): Tugra Mezze (starters plate; 54 TRY) as well as Puf Böregi (filled with spinach and cheese; 35 TRY) very tasty
Conclusion: Luxury hotel with excellent location at the Bosphorus; rooms and restaurants very expensive; service great!

Hotel mit einem tollen Ausblick, netter Bedienung und einem einmaligen Ambiente. Preise in der Top Liga

Le palais de Ciragan (Ciragan Sarayi) a été construit pour le sultan Abdül Aziz par l’architecte Sergis Balyan et achevé en 1874, deux ans avant que le sultan né soit renversé. Il fut ravagé en 1910 par un incendie et seule la façade noircie par les flammes ainsi que l’ossature interne, peu à peu envahies par la végétation, restèrent debout jusqu’aux récents travaux. Aujourd’hui, le palais et son annexe récente sont un hôtel de luxe, de la chaîné Kempinski (voir photo).
Bön séjour dans cette magnifique ville d’Istanbul.

WOW! I stayed here a little while ago, we booked a hotel suite (not the extravagant ones!!), which is quite expensive but well worth it —
The Ciragan Palace Kempinski Istanbul is a luxury hotel that offers the ultimate glamour of a genuine Ottoman Palace. I have stayed in several luxury hotels as I really really enjoy doing so, but this by far is the most impressive hotel I have ever stayed in and would love to do it again and again.
As pretencious as it may seem the Hotel is a 5-​star luxury Imperial Palace, that has been restored over the years, the new developed side is a more modern, but not less valued side to the hotel, the original buildings contain the exclusive suites where Arab Sheikhs and the extremely rich reside. Hence the heliport at the edge of the palace suites.
The hotel is on the shores of Istanbul and looks over the exquisite views of the magnificent Bosphorus. If you book well in advance you may be able to get a good deal — keep checking their website to find deals for about £300 — 400 per night.
Oh and if you do get a chance to go to Istanbul, and do not fancy a stay you could always go to the palace to have tea served in ottoman teapots with a variety of sugars. and ask for the sweet tray (silver layered trays with mini cakes that are delicious)
