Every story has a beginning. For Rixos Tersane Istanbul, it starts on the majestic shores of the Golden Horn, where the legendary Bosphorus Strait meets the Sea of Marmara. Here, where the horn-shaped, sheltered harbour protected Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and other maritime trade ships for thousands of years, the property provides a luxurious sanctuary for travellers visiting The City of Seven Hills.
Bestowed with an excellent location that can even be accessed from the sea, the property is home to 394 rooms and an infinity pool that mirrors the shimmering waters of the famous waterway. Blending local charm with world-class service, the hotel is close to some of Istanbul’s most fascinating places of interest including the Rahmi M. Koç Museum, dedicated to the history of industry, transport and communication of Türkiye, and the Rezan Has Museum, where you can peruse a collection of archaeological artefacts that span 9,000 years. There’s even the opportunity to explore Istanbul by sea through the Fener – Balat Guided Tour, which can be organised by the hotel every Saturday.
For gourmands, there are Turkish and international dining experiences to savour. At Velena Food Market, the all-day dining concept offers a smorgasbord of flavours including Italian, Asian and Anatolian cuisines. Velena By The Sea serves up poolside dining with exquisite cocktails and mesmerising sea views, with the Wine Cellar showcasing an extraordinary collection of Türkiye’s finest wines. Or if you prefer fine dining, make a date with the sophisticated setting of Josephine Istanbul. Here, you can delve into local interpretations of international food varieties, selected local mini snacks from the regions of Türkiye and artisan pastries. And if you’re a cigar aficionado, head for Gowden for good food, exquisite cocktails, exclusive cognacs and whiskeys alongside a supreme selection of cigars.
