The St. Regis Istanbul
The St. Regis Istanbul offers a luxurious stay in Nisantasi, Istanbul’s vibrant district. Guests can expect signature 24-hour butler service and elegantly decorated rooms, some boasting Bosphorus Strait views. Relax at the Iridium Spa with its traditional hammams, or enjoy afternoon tea featuring local delights. Modernist art meets impeccable service, making it an ideal hotel for discerning travellers.
My arrival experience: Warm welcome from the staff. Early check-in before being escorted to the room.
What I loved: The typical St. Regis design and the smartphone with a personal hotspot in the room.
What about the food: I ordered room service twice. I ordered the same: spaghetti with mushroom sauce. Both times, the food was average but not consistent. At 2 AM, it was dry, but at 11 AM, it was creamy.
What about the service: The staff is professional, and the attention to detail is impressive. If you like Butler’s service, you will definitely have a good time here.
What about the rooms: They are Typical St. Regis design and meet all St. Regis standards. They have a comfortable bed, working desk, flat-screen TV, bathtub, Remede products, and separate rain shower. The only problem with the rooms is the noise level. There was loud street noise in my first room, and the same problem was present in the other rooms they showed me.
Number of rooms: 120.
