A Closer Look at the Newly Opened St. Regis Hotel in Istanbul

St. Regis Istanbul

The St. Regis brand has become one of the most respected names in the hotel industry, and you can always expect high levels of luxury and comfort from their hotels. That is exactly the case with their newest property in Istanbul that has just recently opened up its doors and it is certainly quite the hotel. This marks the first hotel for St. Regis in Turkey, and it is nothing short of five-star excellence. Let’s take a closer look at what this premium hotel has to offer.

St. Regis needed to pick a great location for their newest property, and they could have not done any better. The hotel is located in the Nisantasi area of the city which is one of the most luxurious and up-scale parts of the city. It is often compared to New York’s 5th Avenue, which makes it the perfect location for a premium hotel. Outside of the great location, this hotel has much to offer guests that stay within its walls. While we currently only have digital renderings of what the hotel looks like, we can still get a great sense of just how premium this hotel actually is.

The entire interior of the hotel follows a consistent design theme that is fund throughout the lobby, the guest rooms, the restaurants, and more. Prominent Turkish architect Emre Arolat took on the job of lead designer/architect, and he and his team certainly came up with some spectacular ideas. The designers went with a modern Art Deco approach that makes extensive use of the colors brown, cream, and gold/orange, and we have to admit that it does look very appealing. The hotel has all the attractions that draw people to a St. Regis, and then some. This newest location is the second hotel to feature the desirable Bentley Suite and it will be the first international location for Wolfgang Puck’s Spago restaurant. That restaurant is very important as it would be one of the few in the city (if not the only) that serves Californian inspired cuisine.

In total there are 118 guest rooms and suites in the hotel, all of which have considerably nice views of the surrounding area. The rooms are extremely modern and luxurious, and should be able to please even the most discerning luxury travelers. No matter how you look at it, everything about this hotel is extremely premium and high-quality; what else would you expect from a St. Regis? The marble bathrooms featured in the rooms are also something that you would see from a design magazine, I mean just look at them! From the lobby to the individual guest rooms, the newest St. Regis around is certainly an extremely luxurious hotel and it appears that it will be around for some time. So if you ever find yourself traveling to Istanbul and need an amazing hotel, you now know exactly where to look.
