The hotel and its location
Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul is a city hotel on Muallim Naci Caddesi in Kuruçeşme, on the European shore of the Bosphorus between Ortaköy and Arnavutköy in the Beşiktaş district. Ortaköy Mosque is a short drive along the shore road, as are the Zorlu Center, Yıldız Park and Yıldız Palace. The closest neighbouring hotels are Ortaköy Princess Hotel and Bosphorus Palace Hotel in Ortaköy.
The coastal road along the Bosphorus and the approaches to the bridges are often congested, especially in the evening rush, so allow extra time when you book your return transfer. This matters most if you fly out of Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side, as the route crosses the Bosphorus. Both fixed prices are listed on this page.
