Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul Unveils Stunning New West Wing
Conceived by renowned interior design, Khuan Chew of KCA International, the contemporary new look lets the light of the Bosphorus flood into the guestrooms, fusing the very best of Swiss sophistication, precision and simplicity, with the warmth of Turkish culture. From the colors of the Bosphorus and the cityscape, to the textures of the Dolmabahce Gardens, the entwining influences of both Europe and Asia are present in each space. The Bosphorus strait shimmers into view thanks to Chew's emphasis on floor to ceiling windows in every room and suite, ensuring guests have a real sense of place each time they return.

And the room renovation is merely the beginning; the hotel's full renovation will see the re-design of the renowned Gaja Rooftop and pool, a new restaurant, and the introduction of seven glamorous Loft Suites – bringing high-life loft living to the banks of the Turkish metropolis with full height brick stone walls, duplex accommodation and statement steel staircases.

“The opening of the beautiful new rooms in the hotel's west wing marks the completion of an incredibly exciting first phase in our renovation project,” explains Gerhard Struger, general manager, Swissôtel The Bosphorus, and regional vice president Turkey & Eastern Europe. “Guests will relish the spectacular views and exquisite design which truly highlight the unique location of our hotel on the banks of the Bosphorus.”
