A five-star right on the Karaköy quay, pressed up against the Bosphorus. It opened in February 2023 with 177 rooms spread over four buildings. There's an airport-style security check every time you walk in, and check-in happens over coffee on a lounge sofa. The basement has an indoor pool, saunas and a hammam, and yachts pull up at the hotel's own jetty.
