Istanbul Cityscape
Istanbul

With its hip vibe, plethora of historic sights, and great location on the edge of Europe and Asia, Istanbul is one of the best cities to visit in Europe.

And why not visit in style by staying at one of the best luxury hotels in Istanbul?

Below is a list of some of my favorite luxury hotels in the city.

W Hotel Istanbul
The W is the place to be if you are young, hip and like to party. The hotel has a 24-hour club vibe and is a great place to stay if you want to be in the heart of the action.

Swissotel Istanbul
Just up the hill from the W, the Swissotel is an elegant place to stay and offers great views of the city. The hotel has a number of restaurants, bars, and lounges that guests can enjoy, and also features a great spa and outdoor gardens.

Kempinski Hotel Istanbul
The Kempinski is another of the best luxury hotels in Istanbul. Located right on the Bosphorus, it is housed in a beautiful historic palace. Don’t miss the waterfront pool if you are visiting Turkey in the summer.
