The Peninsula Istanbul sits on the Bosphorus waterfront in the historic district of Karaköy, within the Galataport waterfront development. The hotel is made up of four buildings, three of them historic and restored, with rooms and suites that combine heritage details with contemporary design and views over the Bosphorus and Istanbul's Old Town. That same combination of heritage and contemporary design continues along the waterfront, where the three restored buildings look directly across the Bosphorus toward the Old Town skyline.
