Occidental Pera Istanbul
Waterfront hotel on the Beyoglu shipyard site, sea-view suites, family programme included
Rixos Tersane Istanbul is set on the former shipyard grounds of Beyoglu, on Istanbul's European side. The site puts the hotel directly on the water, and sea views run through much of the room range, from compact 38 m2 doubles to suites of 90, 112 and 135 m2. The One Bedroom Duplex Terrace Suite spans 180 m2 with its own terrace. At the top sits a Presidential Suite of 409 m2, still facing the sea. Family stays are built into the design: rooms carry Nickelodeon Play access, and children's club facilities run alongside a full games programme. Corner and terrace suites add a complimentary butler. Check-in runs from 3pm, check-out to noon. Guests reach the hotel by road within the Beyoglu district, close to other Rixos and Accor properties nearby, including the Rixos Pera Istanbul a little over a kilometre away. It is a large, busy hotel rather than an intimate one, built for families and groups who want sea views without leaving the city. One guest review called the surrounding streets a district apart, with shops and things to do within easy reach. Rooms sleep up to six in family configurations, with king, twin and sofa-bed combinations throughout.
