Samokatus Hotels

Overlooking the stunning Bosphorus Strait in Besiktas, The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul blends classic Turkish luxury with Michelin-starred dining, including Nobu and Atölye. Guests enjoy an expansive spa, an outdoor infinity pool on the roof, and legendary attentive service. However, its hillside location makes walking steep, and late-night music can occasionally disturb light sleepers.

Set in a historic grain silo above the Zeitz MOCAA, The Silo Hotel is a breathtaking fusion of industrial heritage and ultra-luxury. Designed by Liz Biden, its 28 rooms feature exquisite African art, towering ceilings, and iconic convex geometric windows framing Table Mountain. Guests can enjoy a sensational rooftop pool, first-class service, and unmatched views over the V&A Waterfront.
