Sweeping views meet chic modernity at this hillside high-rise at the epicentre of the vibrant Taksim area
Soaring above the bustling streets of Istanbul’s shopping, dining and nightlife quarter, this modern retreat is a polished oasis of calm. Almost every corner comes with a backdrop of picture-worthy city panoramas, especially 20 storeys up, where guests can luxuriate in the rooftop pool or savour fire-powered cuisine with a Mediterranean touch. Talking of food, its five bars and restaurants cover all the bases from café casual to open-kitchen theatre and are justly popular with discerning locals. If you can tear yourself away, the almost-adjacent metro station makes exploring historic Sultanahmet and beyond a cinch.
