In 2017, it underwent a redesign costing $8.5 million, integrating the long history of Istanbul's heritage and matching it with modern spirit, perfectly combining the influences of the East and the West in the city. Designer Patricia Pina from Portugal is responsible for the spectacular interior design of the guest rooms and suites. Following her instructions, 243 guest rooms (including 23 suites) have been redecorated to reflect the influences inspired by the rich culture of the Ottoman Empire and Istanbul. Total area of 126 square meters, the rooms are decorated in golden and copper tones, combined with multiple layers of colors, while the wall panels are made of intricate cobalt blue Anatolian ceramics. Luxurious velvet and silk fabrics can serve as headboards for all rooms, reflecting both the air and the earth in the design. Surrounding the rooms are contemporary works of art by artists, including the famous artwork "At Nağme" by Süleyman Saim Tekkan, a precious representative of Turkish sculpture art, as well as enamel replicas of ancient coins from the reign of Ottoman Sultan Selim III. Just like W, what's also stunning about it is that it has a huge terrace, which is over 80 square meters! You can overlook the beautiful Bosphorus Strait and the majestic minaret of the mosque! Lie down and enjoy the gentle breeze of the Bosphorus Strait, and it also comes with a hot tub and dining area; Bulgari toiletries are provided. Spa center modeled after the 16th century Turkish Roxelana bath, for 150 euros you can experience an ancient Ottoman-style bubble bath (actually just lying on the central slab while dedicated staff washes you..).
