- Luxury hotel

Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul Golden Horn is located on the shores of the Historic Golden Horn Peninsula. Bosphorus, a big slice of sea that runs through Istanbul connecting Europe to Asia extends further into the land as a canal that makes up the Golden Horn which commands the city that has been home to three empires emerging on the shores of this waterway; Byzantium, Roman and Ottoman. Layers of the history that make İstanbul what it stands for today; the vibrant and diverse mix of enriching cultures mingling together.

A contemporary boutique hotel, Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul Golden Horn boasts 136 rooms with impressive waterfront views, the rooftop gourmet restaurant Arça Restaurant & Grill, rejuvenating Spa, state-of-the-art meeting rooms and a ballroom for dreamy weddings as well as easy access to all the city’s must see historic areas and is the closest hotel to Istanbul International Airport; only 25 minutes away.

Golden Horn strait represent a lifestyle of enlightenment since the Ottoman times. 18th century, a time known as the Tulip Era was when pavilions along its airy shores emerged, little wooden ferries shuttled back and forth while fishing parties were held under moonlight. These were part of this majestic city’s social life back then and are still the base of its daily life rituals. When you look at the Golden Horn today, you will see sailing boats, ferries, sculling athletes and indulge in a dream that will take you back in time.

To enjoy the waterway to the fullest, a ferry ride is available. Passing beneath the minarets and domes of Süleymaniye Mosque, disembark at Eyüp to visit Eyüp Sultan, also walking distance from the hotel.
