The Stay Bosporus is located in the picturesque and central neighbourhood of Ortakoy, a lively and vibrant district that is a popular destination for anyone who has ever set foot in Istanbul, visitors and residents alike. The Stay Bosphorus is housed in a 5-storey, 19th Century Ottoman Mansion right at the foot of the XXX bridge with magnificent views on the Bosphorus. The Stay Bosphorus offers a total of 26 rooms, 16 of which impress with spectacular sweeping panoramic views of the Bosphorus from every angle, with the city and its ancient structures as its backdrop. Internationally acclaimed design firm, Autoban, has renovated the building to maintain its historical charm, while providing guests with state-of-the-art contemporary design blended with historical glamour.  The restaurant, ‘The Bosphorus Lounge Bar', serves carefully selected, seasonal and delicious food from Turkish and international cuisine, to be enjoyed alongside magnificent views stretching from the Bosphorus Bridge to the Topkapı Palace. The historic mansion located just across the cobblestone street marks the entrance to the main building which offers the Executive Lounge, a private area that is exclusive to guests staying in Penthouse Bosphorus, Executive Bosphorus and Penthouse suites. The Executive Lounge is designed to ensure privacy and as such, has no outside access. It is the perfect spot in which to sit by a window taking in the scene onto the lively streets of Ortakoy, whilst enjoying local gourmet delicacies. Affording time in a comfortable and secluded space, the Executive Suite is a haven in the heart of the city. The original building was built by the Balyan family, masters of Ottoman architecture who were responsible for shaping Istanbul's architectural identity by constructing most of the buildings for the Empire, including Dolmabahce Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace and the neighbouring Ortakoy Mosque.
