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 intimate scale and historic setting offer an alternative to the city's larger palace hotels.

The most wellness-focused luxury option. Historic mansions with exceptional attention to sustainability. Spa is outstanding.
