This "classy and secluded" hotel overlooks the Bosphorus on the former garden of Dolmabahçe Palace. Guest rooms are warm and modern, with rich woods, subtle colors, and "a high-tech panel that controls almost everything." "The business center was closed for the Eid holiday, but the helpful staff opened it for me to check e-mails." Gaja restaurant's panoramic windows have Bosphorus views that "are the real selling point of the hotel."
