The luxury chain Mandarin Oriental has set up on the banks of the Bosphorus, on Istanbul's European side, with a vast urban resort nestling in the heart of a pine forest. Its lush green setting is obviously conducive to relaxation, enhanced by the hotel's facilities, which include a 3,500 m² spa, indoor and outdoor pools and a wide range of elegant restaurants and bars featuring concepts from the Novikov restaurant group.
However, this spirit of leisure goes hand in hand with exclusive facilities for travellers and business groupsThe hotel is located in the residential district of Kuruçeşme, a quarter of an hour from Taksim Square and the central business district, making it a new Mecca for business meetings in the Turkish metropolis.
In addition to its 100 rooms and suites overlooking the Bosphorus, the Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus Istanbul offers six meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology and a VIP room, the Orient Express Room, inspired by the legendary train and suitable for smaller meetings.

The hotel also has a space, the Crystal Event Room, which can be hired and decorated in a personalised way for special occasions.
