“Stay here at least once in your life”
Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul
Upon our arrival to the four seasons we immediately fell at home, we were given a room on the second floor overlooking the street. The room was huge, and the bathroom incredible. Amenities were superbe with courtesy mineral water and fresh fruit every day refreshed. Hotel staff was over 5 stars, this is what I call luxury service, the most often pronounced words were “certainly” and each guests names. In fact, they made us feel as if they knew us from a long time. Just an example of what you can expect in this hotel as service… one night, the room service housekeeper , while he was servicing our room at night, saw me bare foot (I had just taken my shoes off) and he immediately came over and slipped on a pair of warm slippers for me to heat up my feet. It is these kind of details that truly make a distinction in one hotel.
If I could describe the feeling upon entering this hotel is that of happiness and well being, as soon as you enter the doorway and you see the incredible flower setup in the lobby you are set for a big smile.
Not everything was so perfect, we indeed had a problem with our room on the third day of our stay, there was a leak from the room upstairs. Yet the service once again was unbeatable! We were immediately upgraded to an executive four seasons room which was even bigger than our first room and overlooking the garden. Thousands apologies and the most rapid service that I have ever seen in my life.
Concierges were incredible, always ready to help in any way, and recommending outstanding restaurants (not necessarily touristy or luxurious)
Sunday brunch was just amazing – delicious!
Car service to the airport was pure luxury. A silver bmw sedan drove us to the airport, this included the kindest driver, some Turkish delights for us to eat and some refreshments. I wanted to stop by a shopping center to do some shopping and the driver graciously waited for us while we shopped.
All in all, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! It is an absolutely priviledge being able to spend just a day at this four seasons! so in conclusion, do stay here at least once in your life!
