The Grand Tarabya, Managed By Accor

Overview

Fancy a bit of boujee bliss in Istanbul? The Grand Tarabya is a five-star stunner, perfect for those who like their jollies with a side of serious luxury. Whether you're after a pampering spa escape, delish dining, or just a mega comfy base to explore the city, this spot has you covered. It's giving main character energy, and you're invited.

Location

Nestled right in the heart of Sariyer, you're practically BFFs with the Bosphorus – it's literally 0.1km away, so you can practically roll out of bed and into a boat trip! You're also just a quick 5-minute drive from the lush Belgrad Forest if you fancy a bit of nature. Taksim Square and the Bosphorus Bridge are a bit further, around an 11-mile jaunt, but Istanbul Airport (IST) is a manageable 40.2km away, making your arrival a doddle.

Rooms

Get ready to feel right at home (but way more glam) in one of the 278 individually furnished guestrooms, each rocking a mini-bar for those midnight snacks and an LCD TV for catching up on your fave shows. With complimentary WiFi, you can brag about your gorg digs instantly, and the bathrooms come fully loaded with showers, free toiletries, and a hairdryer, so no bad hair days here. Safes and desks mean you're sorted for both your valuables and any last-minute holiday planning.

Food & Drink

Prepare your tastebuds for a treat at The Brasserie, serving up international delights right by the waterfront – talk about dinner with a view! If you're feeling extra laidback, 24-hour room service means you don't even have to leave your cosy room for a delish bite. Plus, with a poolside bar for refreshing tipples and two other swanky bars/lounges, you'll never be short of a spot to grab a drink, and kiddos aged 6 and under even get free brekkie.

Sports & Entertainment

Time to treat yourself, because the spa here is epic, offering everything from massages to body treatments and facials – prepare to feel utterly pampered. If you're more about getting your heart rate up, there's an indoor pool, a sauna to sweat out the stresses, and a fully-equipped fitness centre to keep those holiday bods in check. They even do wedding services, so you could literally tie the knot in style here, all while staying connected with complimentary WiFi.
