Located next door to the Radisson SAS Bosphorus Hotel, this club provides a venue for musicians from around the world.

A modern, chic, 120 room  moderately-priced hotel offering fantastic views of the Bosphorus and the Imperial Mosque as well as a Wellness and Beauty center. The incomparable Japanese restaurant, Zuma, beloved in London, is right next door.  Jazz lovers should note that the hotel is also next door to the Istanbul Jazz Center.

One of our favorite restaurants in London, Zuma, with its exceptional contemporary Japanese cuisine and refined contemporary décor is now in Istanbul. The trademark robata grill is here where mouth-watering fish, vegetable and meat dishes are prepared; there’s also a sushi bar where patrons can dine and watch the sushi chefs at work.

This restaurant by the Lavanta sisters, also known for their hip spot in Ismir, takes pride in using the freshest ingredients to make simple but tasty Mediterranean specialties. There’s risotto and steak and also delicious vegetable options for a lighter meal.  It’s also good for a quick lunch or an early dinner with children.

If you’re looking for a party scene with an upbeat, hip crowd, try this trendy large open-air restaurant serving international cuisine located right on the Bosphorus.
