A historical statement in the heart of the eclectic Karaköy district, JW Marriott Istanbul Bosphorus offers a sense of place that embodies the area’s progressive nature. Built 180 years ago by Italian architects, it has been artfully transformed from its marine legacy, retaining its original structure and exquisite 35 meters atrium, to emerge as one of Istanbul’s most elegant and contemporary properties. Located in a neighborhood with a timeless past and rich future, the hotel takes inspiration from its surroundings. Entrepreneurial in spirit with a Bohemian flair, Karaköy is host to a varied array of boutiques, cafés, cocktail bars and artisanal markets. Next to the much anticipated newly-built Galataport with a cruise terminal.
