The Peninsula Istanbul

We recently stayed at a hotel by the Bosphorus, but a few days ago we decided to have lunch at the beautiful Peninsula Lobby. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Eray, who was not only incredibly kind but also very knowledgeable about the area. As he walked us to our table, he shared some interesting facts about the hotel — and honestly, we immediately wished we had booked our stay here instead! The property is absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious. A special thank you to Eray for making us feel so welcome and for the sweet gesture of giving our baby a teddy bear — it truly meant a lot. We will definitely be back, and we’re already looking forward to receiving the same amazing service from Mr. Eray again

We experienced Winter High Tea. As a British person,It was way above my expectation. Our server Dilara took the service to a different dimension. In addition to explaining each product in full detail, her sweet conversation was very enjoyable. I can't help but say that she speaks the best English I have ever encountered in Istanbul.we will definitely back and look for dilara, thank you for everything x

Great Hotel with phenomenal location. Definitely the best in Istanbul. Every time the service is perfect. Definitely the best birthday stay in December. I would like to special thanks to Ms Barlas, Mr Rastrick and Mr Crook for support and another successful stay. I hope to see you soon Karol & Marta

Great experience, excellent and timely service, VERY helpful staff, and a BIG thank you to Eray for making our trip memorable! The food, the people, the ambience, and the location, made it an unrivaled vacation. Also, thank you for helping us with our last minute luggage needs!

Our stay at The Peninsula Istanbul was exceptional. It is a stunning property filled with history and character. Its location on the Bosphorus is perfect as you are close to most of the main tourist attractions and has excellent views to the Asian side of the city and the Blue Mosque. Top Side Bar and Gallada were both excellent. Our room had great views of the Bosphorus. It was large and well-appointed. The people are what make this property so impressive. The service was above and beyond. My husband had a minor medical emergency and needed to go to the hospital. Nedret and Onur (concierge services) dropped everything to help us. They arranged for the hotel car to take us to the hospital and stayed in constant communication with me throughout. When it was clear we would not be able to get to a pharmacy before it closed, I was able to text a photo of the prescription to Nedret and she sent a courier to fill the prescription. Erman, the guest services manager, called while we were at the hotel to inquire if we needed anything additional in the room or other arrangements made before we returned. They again allowed us use of the hotel car to get back from the hospital. Upon our return, Erman was waiting for us on the steps of the hotel and escorted us back to our room when the prescriptions were waiting along with hot tea. The following day, both Erman and Ilker checked on us several times. Without their help, this would have been a much more stressful situation to navigate. My husband and I were both so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. This is a fabulous property run by an excellent team.
