Unlike the majority of luxury hotels in Istanbul, Raffles stands out as a symbol of a modern, self-confident Turkey. The hotel forms part of the award-winning Zorlu Center, which comprises an upmarket shopping center and performance venue.
All guests are assigned a personal butler. Service is attentive without being obsequious. The spa and wellness facilities are outstanding, with three hammams, seven separate treatment rooms and two couples' suites. The outdoor pool has expansive city views, the indoor one is bathed in natural light, and there are yoga and pilates studios as well as a state of the art gym.
