Our Inspector's Highlights

When in season, the fifth-floor Fairmont Infinity Pool is worth a dip. Swimming under the signature golden globes that emerge from the water, you’ll overlook the urban jungle of Istanbul and have sensational views of the Bosphorus and Marmara Sea.
Allow yourself time to lounge around the Istanbul hotel. The supremely comfortable rooms are spacious, flooded with natural light, decorated with soothing, subdued colors and equipped with handy iPad control panels to change the lighting or order room service.
The brilliant interior design highlights the characteristic bold geometric shapes of art deco style — think long rectangular lines and semicircles — paying tribute to the historic liquor factory next door, with a local flair in the details.
Do not miss the splendor of Turkish restaurant Aila, one of the most stylish places in town to sip the national drink raki, an anise-infused, grape-based spirit.
The Fairmont Spa managed by Juspa is a must-visit for its natural-light-filled indoor pool with a retractable glass wall that opens to the outdoors in the spring and summer, state-of-the-art gym and hammam treatments.

Things to Know

There is not a singular lobby in the hotel, but a fragmented flow of spaces around a central courtyard that mimic Istanbul’s winding city streets. This unusual design provides plenty of cozy alcoves for relaxation.
The 15th-floor Fairmont Gold Lounge is worth the upgrade. Only those staying on the Fairmont Gold floor or in suites can access this exclusive spot with its sublime city vistas, complimentary breakfast and gratis nightly happy hour.

The Rooms

The 209 luxuriously appointed accommodations all share one outstanding feature: they are sound-proofed to ward off the buzzing 24-hour traffic. Enjoy your view in silent serenity through wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows, or slide them open to let in the distant murmur of the city.
A nice techy touch comes in the form of remote-control curtain shutters that can provide total darkness, a priceless feature if you need a midday nap to overcome jet lag or to refresh after a tiring day of meetings or shopping before heading out for the evening.
Rooms have a choice of a freestanding tub or Turkish hammam in addition to a rainshower. Opt for the latter, especially in the winter, when the heated marble seats offer an unmatchable luxurious feel.
The Bosphorus View Rooms have balconies furnished with chairs and a little table, perfect for enjoying a drink from the fully equipped bar while catching a breeze from the sea.

The Restaurants

For breakfast and lunch, Stations provides a wide selection of global and local tastes cooked in open-kitchen stations (hence the name). The walls are adorned with several black-and-white photographs of Istanbul that were taken in 2017, the year the luxury hotel was opened.
Aila serves Turkish cuisine with a twist from head chef Kemal Can Yurttaş. The menu features modern takes on classic mezze dishes, as well as an exceptional selection of Anatolian cuisine.
Another must-visit spot is the adjacent Spice Library, where intriguing spices and housemade dried vegetable powders from Aila’s chef are displayed. Look for unusual flavors such as pastrami and tomato skin.
Ukiyo adds a stylish Asian elan to the property with a quirky design by Marcel Wanders and spectacular city views. Savor a signature cocktail while nibbling on fare like beef salmon tataki, miso-dressing lamb chops and summer rolls with sesame plum sauce.
With its pivotal location in the lobby, Marble Bar welcomes you with classic cocktails with an Istanbul twist, such as The Golden Horn (peach, Aperol and sparkling wine) or the Istanbul Sour (raki, lemon juice, sugar and red wine).
