The stay

Editor's notes

Breakfast & dining

Breakfast is a buffet at the rooftop Madam Niça with Bosphorus views and is well reviewed; gluten-free options are available. The lobby-level Art&Kitchen bistro serves cocktails and light dishes.

Room types

Classic and Superior rooms face the city; corner rooms give a partial Bosphorus view, and a full view needs the 'Bosphorus View' category or one of the four terrace suites. Get the view category confirmed in writing; reviews mention mix-ups at check-in. Rooms are soundproofed.

Noise & sound insulation

İnönü Avenue is busy, but guests rate the room insulation well. Surrounding streets get crowded and loud on Beşiktaş match days.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast is excluded on some rates. Babysitting is charged. City tax is extra.

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

Istanbul · Şişli · ★★★★★

A 5-star hotel opened in 2001 in the lower floors of the Süzer Plaza tower in Elmadağ, best known for east-facing Bosphorus views, a 1,500 m² spa with an indoor pool and hammam, and consistently praised service. Dolmabahçe Palace is walkable, but reaching Taksim means an uphill walk along a busy road.
