PB hotel design editorial

Rising thirty-two floors above the Elmadağ neighborhood in Beyoğlu, a dark-glass tower with a chamfered crown and the Ritz-Carlton name at its apex cuts an unmistakably corporate silhouette against the Bosphorus skyline — the kind of building that earns its keep through position rather than architecture. From this elevation, the strait spreads below in a panorama that takes in the Dolmabahçe Mosque, the Asian shore, and tankers moving through the channel, and The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul has always understood that the view is the primary interior. The hotel, which has been part of Istanbul's luxury landscape since 2001, holds 244 rooms across its upper floors within a tower that was designed for mixed use, the hotel fitted into its upper portion with the Bosphorus-facing orientation doing most of the atmospheric work. A recent renovation recalibrated the interiors in two distinct registers, both visible in the images. The Bosphorus-view rooms received a neo-classical treatment — cream-painted panelling with gold trim, sapphire-blue velvet upholstery, sunburst mirrors, and dark herringbone floors — that leans into a European grand-hotel idiom. The city-facing rooms took a warmer, more contemporary direction: pale oak panelling with slatted screens, Japanese-influenced coffered ceilings in timber, and loose furniture in bleached wood and linen. The Club Lounge runs deep cobalt against mirrored tile-patterned walls, its banquette seating angled directly at the Bosphorus, while the main restaurant layers crystal pendants into oversized linen drum shades above white-clothed tables flanked by upholstered booths in sage and ochre.

"Everything about the stay was completely quality from the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, we felt entirely cared for. The staff at the front desk went above and beyond to help me locate a lost and very expensive piece of jewelry. There are many places in the world where that expensive watch would have been missing forever, but not at the Ritz in Istanbul. I’m taking the time to write this review because not only was everything about the day exquisite, but I am so impressed by the attentiveness, efficiency, honesty and integrity of the staff. Absolutely amazing stay, PS room service does not disappoint! :)"

"The hotel lives up to the name of Ritz-Carlton. The staff is courteous and helpful. The room is spacious with a great view of the Bosphorus Strait. The breakfast is exquisite with an excellent selection. The quality of the food in the couple of restaurants is also excellent. We had a wonderful experience during our stay and will go back again when we visit Istanbul."

"Located about 15 minutes by Uber from the Grand Bazaar & downtown Istanbul. Spacious clean rooms with fabulous views over the Bosphorus & the Stadium. Lovely rooftop pool & deck area. Some members of staff had limited English & were a little new to the service industry."

"The Turkish Hammam was excellent. Especially with Erna and Nisa both amazing. Just bear in mind with the extras they can creep up on you. Otherwise it was the best hammam ive tried here in Istanbul!"
