The 1st W Hotel in Europe is as all W Hotels a place to be for stylish modern people. Great designed spacious rooms (554 with a view on the Bosporus in the Balcony) and a great service is certain.
For those who travelled extensively and stayed in other W Hotels , especially suites .. This W have the smallest suite room which I can akin to a luxurious deluxe room with a king size bed.
The hotel is pretty cool with chic rooms and nice cocktails but also make sure to go check out the spa and get a massage from Tiraje, one of the BEST massages I've had in a while, love it!
Go to the salon around the corner for an awesome manicure for only 40 lira. Blow outs are 50 lira. Just turn left from the hotel, make a U and go past the row of cafes on the left side of the street.
It's a very dim hotel, but very nice. Very nicely decorated, wonderful staff, good breakfast (lots of fruit and cheese selection), and a very nice neighborhood.
Make sure you ask and meet the W Insider when you're there. Great local hints and tips and can get you access to anything anywhere in the city. Truly in the know of what's hot in town!!
One of the most interesting hotels to stay in, dine in, or chill in, in Istanbul. Excellent location, extraordinary neighborhood, and panoramic views from some rooms. TOP.
Very cool maze of restaurants a couple of blocks away towards the water. Find the area with the grapes growing across the alley way. Find a place to eat and enjoy incredible authentic music/food.
Perfect location for hopping on the ferry and surrounded by good restaurants and bars. However, it's NOT up to the W standard in any way. Feels like a bad nightclub inside, rooms are just ok.
Very fancy and kitsch design, signature W style. The breakfast was very basic, not recommending it. The service is ok, but if you need smth extra you have to ask for it, it's not by default.
Another funky W hotel.. Great neighborhood but the rooms are too dark and it could get noisy ... Would probably come back if the St. Regis is again fully booked...
TV Sets are very low volume. Just lift the glas front and pull it from the wall gently. Speaker will appear and have no obsticles to boost the sound into the room ;)
They cancelled my spa meeting at the last day with the argument the hotel is closed for renovations the next 3-4 months! My weekend is done although I could travel instead. Really disappointed :((
Outdated, poorly serviced and no recognition for loyalty. As an Ambassador Elite level bonvoy member, I was expecting a welcoming stay with all the usual perks.
