Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed December 2024
Rising above Nişantaşı in the Suzer Plaza, The Ritz-Carlton offers panoramic city and Bosphorus views from its upper floors. The rooftop infinity pool and bar are among the city's most see-and-be-seen, while the spa features an authentic Turkish hammam. Legendary Ritz-Carlton service throughout.

The rooftop pool and bar are spectacular. Request high floor for best views. Excellent concierge.
