The Istanbul Edition by Marriott

The hotel is one of the best deluxe hotels in Istanbul and it is a brand new hotel. It also has a few small meeting rooms as well. Normally it is not in the walking distance to the city center but with the metro line it is just 10 minutes to Taksim. And anyway it is a hotel that you don`t want to go out to use the comfort and unique amenities.
Exterior: The exterior is an impressive building, modern and not too high, combining glass with other high tech materials.
Lobby: The lobby reflects the modern architecture and the elegance of the hotel with the use of a very special aquarium which is seperating the reception and the seating area. From the lobby youcan reach the bar with an indoor and outdoor seating and a winter garden. It is very elegant and comfortable.

The spacious deluxe rooms are decorated in warm, natural tones with rosewood and soaped oak wood throughout. With views of the city, the well-appointed rooms feature customised linen, silk carpet, large cupboard space, glass enclosed shower with rain showerheads, Bang & Olufsen flatscreen TV with cable acces, i-Pod docking station, high-speed internet access for a fee , fully stocked mini-bar and safe.

Continental breakfast served in buffet form. Lunch and dinner are available in the famous Cipriani Restaurant which offers the sophistication of the Cipriani heritage along with the relaxed joie de vivre of European café society.

The hotel's fabulous spa has an atmosphere of opulence decorated in rich metallic woods and embossed bronze floors softened by upholstered walls and comfortable seating. A comprehensive menu of beauty and health treatments is offered in the multiple treatment rooms, which include a VIP suite decorated with patterned leather floors and smokey walls where couples can unwind in the oversize bathtub, steam shower and unique relaxation bed suspended from the ceiling. A stunning pool and a state-of-the-art fitness centre completes this extraordinary experience.

From Ataturk Airport, take the Yesilkoy and Bakirkoy coastal road. Continue onto Kennedy Street, cross the Galata Bridge and continue onto Barbaros Boulevard then Buyukdere Street. After 1km the hotel is on the right-hand side.
