Çırağan Palace Kempinski

Istanbul is a city steeped in history. And if you really want to immerse yourself in it, stay at Çırağan Palace Kempinsk. Its historical significance is immense: the palace you see today was completed in 1871 for Sultan Abdülaziz, marking the last grand palace built by an Ottoman Sultan for himself.

Originally a royal residence, it later served as a venue for the Ottoman Parliament. After a devastating fire in 1910, the palace was restored and, in 1992, was reborn as the luxury hotel we know and love today. It seamlessly blends the grandeur of its Ottoman past with modern luxury, offering guests a true sultanate experience, complete with an outdoor infinity pool on the water's edge and the coveted Sultan Suite.

 Consistently ranked as one of the best suites in the world, it has a magnificent living room and dining area for 12 people, a handmade marble hammam, dedicated butler service around the clock and a chauffeur-driven transfer service with the hotel's 1974 model classy Rolls Royce Silver Shadow throughout their stay.

Its central location between Asia and Europe makes it an elegant base for exploring Istanbul’s rich historical sites, museums, and vibrant neighborhoods. The hotel attracts guests looking for a sense of history coupled with luxury comfort in a striking setting.
