Sweeping views meet chic modernity at this hillside high-rise at the epicentre of the vibrant Taksim area
Soaring above the bustling streets of Istanbul’s shopping, dining and nightlife quarter, this modern retreat is a polished oasis of calm. Almost every corner comes with a backdrop of picture-worthy city panoramas, especially 20 storeys up, where guests can luxuriate in the rooftop pool or savour fire-powered cuisine with a Mediterranean touch. Talking of food, its five bars and restaurants cover all the bases from café casual to open-kitchen theatre and are justly popular with discerning locals. If you can tear yourself away, the almost-adjacent metro station makes exploring historic Sultanahmet and beyond a cinch.
Why we love The Marmara Taksim
-
It’s right at the hub of Istanbul’s dining, entertainment and shopping district, though you wouldn’t know it in the peaceful guestrooms
-
Fire-cooked dishes, open kitchens and expertly handcrafted pastries and chocolates are just some of the in-house foodie delights on offer
-
Guests are provided with a handy mobile device complete with a city guide, which also makes free phone calls and connects to the internet
-
On hot days, the sleek rooftop pool is the place to head for restorative pauses between action-packed sightseeing sessions
Rooms
The 388 rooms are quietly stylish, with an elegant contemporary design in a restful palette of soft greys, browns and blues that echoes the tones of the city roofscape below.
Cosy rooms with views over the city skyline.

Facilities
Despite stiff competition on the doorstep, the quality and variety of Marmara Taksim’s culinary offerings will make you want to stay put. Experience the simple joy of a freshly baked buttery pastry at Café Marmara, the fire-powered flavours of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine at Okra Istanbul and the sheer theatre of an open kitchen at the Lobby Restaurant.
Café Marmara
Open from early until late, this relaxed eatery beside Taksim Square will take you through from homemade croissants or Turkish scrambled eggs to seafood suppers and bedtime drinks (including sublime hot chocolate)
Okra Istanbul
The spectacular 20th-floor views make a mesmerising backdrop to an imaginative offering of modern Mediterranean dishes featuring seasonal ingredients cooked over open fires
Upperist
Set on the rooftop observation terrace with 360-degree city vistas, this sleek and breezy lounge bar is a hot destination for cocktails and music at sunset and into the night
Lobby Restaurant
Find a carefully curated menu of international and Turkish dishes at this buzzing restaurant, which has an open kitchen and a chic contemporary look
Lobby Bar
As stylish as its neighbour, this all-day bar has an extensive drinks list backed up with an array of tempting snacks
M Chocolate
You won’t be able to resist the selection of artisanal creations at this select chocolatier. Treat yourself to a nut-studded bar, a few truffles or perhaps a few cubes of chocolate-robed lokum, aka Turkish delight
Whats Included
Breakfast at the Lobby Restaurant
The wellness centre consists of a tranquil spa and a large and well-equipped fitness studio. Escape the city bustle with a traditional Turkish bath or a rejuvenating treatment from the spa menu or hit the cross trainers and more for a workout overlooking Taksim Square.
