Experience Ciragan Palace Kempinski, an Ottoman palace turned grand hotel on the Bosphorus. Admire the palace facade and waterfront setting, and soak up the atmosphere of a place where sultans once lived.
Full description
Ciragan Palace is a 19th-century Ottoman palace on the European shore of the Bosphorus, today operated as the Kempinski hotel. Guests stay either in the historic palace section or in the adjoining hotel wing, with the strait directly in front.
Reviews highlight the Bosphorus setting, attentive service and the sense of staying in a real palace. As a landmark it is visited mainly for its exterior and grounds along the waterfront rather than as a conventional sightseeing stop, and it suits couples interested in Ottoman architecture and a polished evening on the water.
