High-class luxury hotel with excellent location in Zorlu Center. It offers spacious rooms and suites with balconies that have beautiful views of the city or the Bosphorus.

Raffles Istanbul is a high-class luxury hotel in the upscale Zorlu Center, one of Istanbul's premier malls, in the busy hilltop commercial district of Zincirlikuyu. This location is perfect if you want direct access to high-end shopping, fine dining, and entertainment but not ideal if you want to be close to the main tourist sites and landmarks. Nonetheless, the hotel is well-connected to the rest of the city via public buses and the subway, the closest station being Gayrettepe, 5 minutes by car away.
The rooms and suites at Raffles Istanbul are exceptionally spacious, and their floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies offer lots of natural light and views of the Bosphorus worth a million dollars. The rooms are gorgeous and unmatched in their stylish and warm interiors plus high-end technology at your disposal. All rooms have touchscreen controls and tablet-based room service. Bathrooms are equally impressive, with baths, separate rainfall showers, and luxurious toiletries.
The hotel houses 9 different dining and drinking venues - restaurants, bars, and lounges. The standout restaurant is the sleek Isokyo, which serves new-age fusion Asian cuisine. The other primary restaurant is the Turkish-Mediterranean Rocca. When it comes to bars, check out The Long Bar, a copy of the bar with the same name in Raffles, Singapore. Yet another different and more relaxed option is the Lavinia Lounge - perfect for afternoon tea or light bites.
The Raffles Spa is one of the most extensive in all of Istanbul. There you can take advantage of the traditional Turkish hammams, an indoor swimming pool, steam rooms, and saunas. Additionally, the spa offers both Eastern and Western-style wellness treatments. The fitness area is another facility that doesn't fail to amaze - fully equipped and with well-maintained machines. To top it all off, there is an outdoor pool with cabanas.
Service at Raffles Istanbul is one of its strongest assets, with 24-hour butler service ensuring a highly personalized experience. Staff members are attentive without being intrusive, always eager to help with suggestions or fix issues.
Overall, Raffles Istanbul is a polished, extremely high-class hotel that delivers on its promise of luxury and excellence.
