Samokatus Hotels

Raffles Istanbul is a modern 5-star hotel perched above the Zorlu Center with sweeping Bosphorus and city views, an extensive art collection and a large spa. Reviewers repeatedly praise attentive butler-level service, spotless designer rooms and a very convenient connection to luxury shopping and transport.

Set within a fragrant pine forest on Mount Uludağ, Swissôtel Uludağ Bursa is a premium wellness retreat housed in a beautifully restored modernist sanatorium. Guests can experience tailored detox programs by The Life Co, luxurious spa facilities, and pure alpine air. The resort features spacious terrace rooms, though its historic, stair-heavy layout and lack of summer air conditioning are worth noting.
