On the European shore of the Bosphorus, Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul is framed by water, gardens and the layered skyline between Kurucesme and Bebek. Rich materials, Ottoman-inspired detail and broad windows connect the bedrooms and suites with the strait or landscaped grounds. The hotel's restaurants, bars and terraces make the most of the waterfront setting, with outdoor seating and evening views central to its atmosphere. A large spa, pools and garden spaces give the property a resort-like feel, while the Bosphorus itself remains the dominant architectural and visual element.
