The Peninsula Istanbul wins the One To Watch Award as part of The World's 50 Best Hotels 2024
This is the second of two special accolades announced before the official awards ceremony on 17 September 2024 at London's historic Guildhall.
The Peninsula Istanbul encompasses a collection of buildings, including protected historical landmarks from the early 20th century. The Lobby is a carefully refurbished, glass-fronted structure, which was Türkiye's first modern cruise terminal built in the 1940s. 177 rooms comprise 138 guest rooms and 39 suites including The Peninsula Suite, one of the largest in the city. It includes a private hammam, gym, screening room, balconies and a private rooftop pool. Most rooms have views over the Bosphorus and the rooftops of Istanbul's Old Town.
Emma Sleight, Head of Content at The World's 50 Best Hotels, says: "Hotels of this stature and consideration don't open often and The Peninsula Istanbul's launch created real excitement across the industry. The historic buildings have been adapted sensitively and seamlessly, without compromising their heritage. The Peninsula group is one of the oldest luxury hotel brands, opening its first hotel in 1928, and this hotel continues a legacy of excellence, setting the gold standard for the future of hotels. It is because of this that The Peninsula Istanbul has won this award."
Managing Director of The Peninsula Istanbul, Jonathan Cook, comments: "Receiving this accolade is a tremendous validation of the incredible effort, dedication, and passion that our team has poured into this property. The response to those who have experienced our hospitality firsthand underscores that we are on the right path, particularly considering how young our hotel is. It places us proudly on the radar of global excellence in hospitality."
