In the Dolmabahçe district, The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul occupies a high rise position overlooking the Bosphorus and the city. Ottoman inspired patterns appear beside modern furnishings throughout the rooms and suites, while water views and Club privileges vary by category. Atölye serves Anatolian cooking, Nobu Istanbul presents Japanese Peruvian menus, and The Roof operates seasonally beside an outdoor infinity pool. The spa includes an indoor pool, hammam, sauna, steam room and treatment spaces, with a fitness centre also available. Dolmabahçe Palace and the waterfront are nearby, while Taksim Square can be reached on foot by a steep route. Sultanahmet and the historic peninsula lie farther south across the central city.
