Independent Büyükada hotels

"I had recommended this hotel to 2 friends last & this year without visiting myself based on reviews that I had read. I am so glad that I had the chance to visit, as it was spectacular - lobby, staff, rooms, views.. the list is endless. Great hotel option with amazing views of the Bosphorus and within walking distance of lovely restaurants and bars. Madhu’s and 16 Roof in the hotel are also worth visiting, great meal/drinks at both. Will definitely be back! "

"The concierge service was extremely helpful. Particularly Aybuke Onder, she was so knowledgeable about restaurants and what to see in the city. It’s service like this that makes us want to come back to the Ritz. "

"I loved this location. The staff was very helpful. The restaurant was very fresh. I will be coming again"

"This hotel, with lovely and attentive staff, is located so centrally that we were able to walk to most places with our two toddlers. Breakfast was served with a breathtaking view of the local sites. The room was excellent for us a family of four. The cleaning staff and hotel staff in general were excellent. The experience in the hotel was the best personal experience. 10/10"

"InterContinental Istanbul – Where Elegance Meets Unforgettable Views My experience at InterContinental Istanbul was exceptional from start to finish. Perfectly located near Taksim Square, the hotel offers sweeping views of the Bosphorus and the city skyline—especially stunning at sunrise and sunset. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully arranged. The staff were professional, kind, and always ready to assist with a smile, making the entire stay smooth and enjoyable. Breakfast was a true highlight—fresh, diverse, and delicious, with both local flavors and international favorites. Whether you’re in Istanbul for business or leisure, InterContinental blends luxury with warm hospitality in the heart of this vibrant city. A stay that’s both restful and inspiring—I’d return in a heartbeat."
