Overview


Situated within the Zorlu Center—the city’s premier hub for fashion, food, and the arts—Raffles Istanbul is a 21st-century tribute to the "Dream of Istanbul." The architecture is a bold, modern skyscraper design that offers some of the most expansive views of the Bosphorus and the Prince Islands. The interior design by HBA is an immersive art experience, featuring commissioned works that reinterpret Byzantine and Ottoman motifs through a contemporary lens. It represents the "New Istanbul," where high-tech luxury and futuristic design meet the ancient, storied spirit of the Silk Road.
