Splurge of the Week: The Shangri-La Suite at Istanbul’s Shangri-La Bosphurus

It’s one of the world’s most famous suites, boasting panoramic views of the Bosphorus Strait, spacious living and dining rooms and a spectacularly opulent marble bathroom. Yes, the Shangri-La Suite at Istanbul’s Shangri-La Bosphorus is indeed a Turkish delight. Draw yourself a bubble bath with the Bulgari toiletries on offer while enjoying in-house movies on a 42-inch LCD screen. A meal on one of the suite’s three private terraces will make you feel like you’re the first person to ever enjoy the city’s mesmerising vistas from above – the top floor of this historic hotel. Rest well in plush 800-thread-count linen and try to force yourself to leave this majestic space for a visit to the hotel’s spa, indoor pool, hammam… or, you know, the other Ottoman attractions in Istanbul.
