Buyukada Splendid Palace Hotel  

On Büyükada in the Adalar district — a historic island escape facing the Sea of Marmara. In the city center and minutes from Aya Nikola Halk Plajı, Viranbag Beach, Sedef Island and Yorukali Beach, with easy access for day trips to Istanbul landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

Housed in a 1908 building with silvery domes and red shutters, the hotel blends Art Nouveau hints with east–west design. Rooms ring a bright inner courtyard and many overlook the sea or island streets; rooms include minibars, TVs and private bathrooms. Expect a nostalgic, tranquil island vibe where horse‑drawn carriages still set the pace.

Seasonal outdoor swimming pool set in verdant trees, bicycles to rent and an arcade/game room keep days active. There’s a bar/lounge, 24-hour front desk, elevator, dry cleaning/laundry and luggage storage. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and simple island calm.

Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout the property and the 24-hour front desk offers concierge and luggage services.

A restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for about 90 serves Turkish and international dishes. Daily complimentary buffet breakfast (8–10 AM) is offered, plus limited-hours room service and a bar for evening drinks.
