The exquisite architecture and decor, put together on the front of the Bosphorus is perfectly charming and a splendour to look at.

Built for the Ottoman Sultans, the Ciragan Palace has everything and more you would expect from a hotel of its calibre and all the comforts the sultans wanted.

Although the Sultans are long gone, their magnificent hotel still stands more wonderful than ever and with everything from a Turkish bath to one of several a la carte restaurants. The rooms are double the size of conventional ones and could be called palaces themselves by right.

The Ciragan in fact is made up of two hotels, the Sultan's palace and grounds and
then the deluxe grand hotel made in the image of its neighbour.

It has 322 rooms which includes 26 suites, 45 deluxe rooms and 251 standard rooms.The luxury of this hotel is legendary and the Ciragan Palace is certainly one of those seeking this splendour.
