The realistic view

Beyond the first impression

Verified information only

Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul Bosphorus is a 257-room hotel on Barbaros Boulevard in Beşiktaş, an 8-minute walk from Zorlu Center, in a renovated 21-storey tower that previously traded as The Plaza and Mercure Istanbul The Plaza Bosphorus before relaunching as a Mövenpick in 2021. It offers 17 meeting rooms, a spa with indoor pool and hammam, the Hünkar Turkish brasserie and the rooftop Italian restaurant Da Vittorio with 360-degree views. Bosphorus views are limited to upper-floor 'Bosphorus' category rooms, and boulevard traffic noise is the main drawback.

  • Business travellers with meetings in Levent, Zincirlikuyu or Beşiktaş
  • Couples wanting a Bosphorus view at a moderate five-star price
  • Guests who want Zorlu Center and Beşiktaş market on foot

What to watch for
