Six Senses Kocatas Mansions
19th-century Ottoman waterfront mansions reimagined
Two meticulously restored 19th-century Ottoman mansions create Istanbul's most unique luxury retreat. The Six Senses wellness philosophy infuses every aspect, from the organic restaurant to the extensive spa. The cozy scale and classic-elegant setting offer an alternative to the city's larger palace hotels.
Editor's Tip
The most wellness-focused luxury option. Historic mansions with exceptional attention to sustainability. Spa is outstanding.
