Overlooking the Bosphorus and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, the new Le Méridien Istanbul Etiler has opened its doors. The 34-story hotel – located in the city’s popular residential, shopping, and entertainment district – is situated a mere stone’s throw away from an array of chic cafes and restaurants. Most of the hotel’s 259 rooms (including 21 long-stay suites) come with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies. The hotel also features a rooftop bar, restaurant, business center, fitness center, spa, and two swimming pools.
