Web Release2 days ago

This summer, Four Seasons Hotels Istanbul invites guests to step into a storybook of unforgettable moments. Set against the city's vibrant tapestry of history, culture, and culinary delights, both Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet and Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus unveil a collection of immersive experiences that redefine luxury in the heart of summer.
Under the warm twilight sky, guests are welcomed to Open Air Cinema Nights, where classic films meet coastal breezes, the perfect start to an evening of enchantment. Just steps away, the newly revitalized Half Olympic Pool offers a refreshing escape, blending elegance with relaxation.
At the water's edge, the Bosphorus sets the stage for extraordinary dining. Ocakba??, a summer-exclusive pop-up, delivers flame-kissed flavours in a lively setting, while AQUA tempts seafood lovers with its award-winning Mediterranean creations. For an authentic local touch, the hotel debuts Gündüz Rak?s?, a weekly ritual held every Sunday from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. Sip on chilled rak? and graze on traditional mezze as the sun dips into the strait.
Yal?, set within the Bosphorus property, offers a serene setting for sweet indulgence with Nicolas Lambert's Afternoon Tea, a symphony of flavours crafted by the world-renowned pastry chef.
Guests are invited to cruise between the two iconic properties aboard a complimentary sea shuttle, with the city skyline as their backdrop and a personal photographer ready to capture every unforgettable frame.
Culture and heritage take centre stage with private, guided tours of Istanbul's most treasured landmarks including the awe-inspiring Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Evenings rise to new heights on The Rooftop, where signature cocktails such as the Sultan's Martini and Matcha Cocktail are served with sweeping views of minarets and domes.
No visit to Istanbul is complete without surrendering to the serenity of a centuries-old hammam ritual at Kurna Spa, guided by expert therapists in a setting steeped in Ottoman elegance. As night falls, the Michelin Guide-recommended AVLU beckons with its sophisticated take on Modern Anatolian cuisine, served in the serene courtyard beneath the stars.
For a final flourish, guests can pose on the iconic Sultanahmet staircase, a social media favourite, or enjoy the whimsical charm of the limited-time Mackenzie-Childs tea service, a photogenic delight of colour, character, and curated sweets.
This summer, Four Seasons Hotels Istanbul transforms seasonal travel into a story worth telling, one where every detail inspires, and every experience lingers long after the season ends.

The restaurant boasts Hugo Toro–designed interiors, seasonal flavours, and a boutique offering everything from jewellery to resortwear As far as summer rendezvous go, few hold the same sun-kissed charm as the Aegean coast. Add a little Italian flair, a Bellini or two, and a terrace that is made for golden-hour selfies, and you've got yourself a season to remember. Just in time for peak travel, Gigi Rigolatto, the name behind the locations in Saint-Tropez, Paris, and Dubai, has landed in Bodrum, with a pop-up at Mandarin Oriental. Opened this June, Gigi Rigolatto Bodrum is the latest chapter in a story that celebrates joie de vivre with elegance.

Set within the resort's private enclave, the beachside venue offers panoramic views across the Aegean Sea from its 140-seat terrace.

The adjoining boutique concept store offers a curated selection of swimwear, jewellery, homeware, and beauty finds. With its secluded bay, immaculate service, and a backdrop that's fit for a postcard, the Gigi pop-up at Mandarin Oriental, Bodrum is your chance to completely immerse into the la dolce vita lifestyle this summer.

Celebrate Eid al-Adha with a Mediterranean Feast at Bab El Bahr

This Eid al-Adha, Bab El Bahr invites guests to indulge in a leisurely lunch that captures the flavours and spirit of the Mediterranean. Located in Downtown Dubai, the restaurant offers a serene, elegant setting for long-table gatherings and midday feasting throughout the break. The menu is rich in dishes that suit the season. In the spirit of Eid, the focus is on abundance and togetherness, with a generous offering of dishes made to be shared. At the heart of the experience is Bab El Bahr's fresh fish display, where guests can browse a colourful selection of the catch of the day — including seabass, seabream, and red snapper. Diners are invited to choose their fish and decide exactly how they'd like it cooked — whether grilled, fried, or oven-baked with Mediterranean spices. This customisable, market-style approach adds a sense of occasion and theatre to the meal. Seafood lovers will also enjoy the Shrimp Fatteh, layered with fried eggplant, creamy yogurt and crispy bread, while the Grilled Large Shrimp — served by the half-kilo — is another crowd favourite. The Mixed Grill Tawouk offers a robust selection of marinated chicken, kebabs, fries, and garlic sauce, while those looking for something indulgent will enjoy the Lobster Linguine, tossed in lobster bisque with tomato, garlic and parsley. The lunch menu is available all day throughout the Eid holiday. Whether you're gathering as a large family after prayers or enjoying with friends, Bab El Bahr captures the essence of Mediterranean hospitality, where feasting, sharing, and slowing down over good food take centre stage. No fixed menus, no pressure, just great food and warm hospitality. Indoor and terrace seating available. For bookings and more information, contact: (04) 456 2881 ?
