Nestled in the Golden Horn estuary of the Bosphorus river, the new Rixos property is part of a development that will see the transformation of historic Ottoman naval shipyards, turning them into the beating heart of Istanbul once again. Providing a refreshing escape in the heart of the city, Rixos Tersane is redefining Istanbul’s lifestyle scene, blending history, culture and art. The hotel features 432 rooms, drawing inspiration from the district’s history. Interior decoration restores 600 years of cultural and industrial heritage to create a modern living space for locals and visitors of Istanbul. Additional amenities include an exclusive Sports Club that relaxes the mind and body, Rixy Kids Club to keep young ones entertained, and an infinity pool with panoramic views of the Golden Horn.

The Golden Horn, a symbol of abundance and prosperity since the Byzantine era, served as a natural harbour that made Istanbul a key trade centre during the Middle Ages. Inspired by its location, Rixos Tersane Istanbul has curated a special art collection under the theme of cultural sustainability. This collection will feature contemporary artworks by both local and international artists, accompanied by a catalogue and digital archive. The resort has five restaurants and bars, including Velena, an all-day dining restaurant offering international fare, Velena by The Sea, a poolside dining experience, Josephine Istanbul, serving up local light bites and classics, Vinose, a wine bar that showcases the finest boutique wines from Turkey, and Gowden, a refined club for cigar aficionados, combining good food, exquisite cocktails, and exclusive cognac and whiskeys.
