Reason #1: History Lessons
Feel the soul of an estate that has been home to sultans and even once operated as Turkey’s first parliament building. Built in the 17th century, the palace wing of the hotel is best known for hosting high-profile events and money-is-no-object weddings, as well as for its 11 private suites. The 313-room luxury hotel is where the local and international elite has gone to rest its head since it opened its doors in 1990.

Reason #3: The Crowd
Don’t miss the people watching during weekend brunches at Laledan, where chic Istanbulites go to ‘see and be seen.’ Plus, with over 300 items on the restaurant’s menu – and a room dedicated to chocolate – you’ll have plenty to indulge in while you take in the smart scene.
Reason #5: The Sultan Suite
At EUR 30,000 a night, Ciragan Palace’s Sultan Suite is the definition of lavish. Madonna is one of the many famous figures to have been a guest of the sprawling space, which wows at every turn and includes a 24-hour private butler service, a private entrance, and even gold-plated bathtub handles.
