Hedonistic and luxurious details are never amiss in Six Senses’ Istanbul property on the Bosphorus.

Located in Istanbul’s prestigious Sariyer district with views over the storied waters that connect Europe and Asia, the Ottoman-era mansions that Six Senses has made its home are divine. The opulence of the historic architecture contrasts sharply with the brand’s minimalist and spirit-first ethos, elevating the guest experience to something only Six Senses can deliver – a remarkable stay. From its conception, the Istanbul project has been one of juxtapositions; natural yet urban, contemporary and historic, gilded but minimalistic, without compromising from its core values, Six Senses successfully finds its way in this magical space.

Culinary arts are one of the cornerstones of Six Senses Kocataş Mansions, Istanbul. Our hotel is a pioneer in unique and cutting-edge F&B offerings based on Eat With Six Senses philosophy and initiatives attracting guests who are in tune with or aspire to the balanced wellness driven lifestyle.

To craft a series of dining experiences that are as elevated and intimate as the rest of the Six Seasons Istanbul property, only Craster’s truth to the materiality of products would do.

Craster Olive Wood Rustic Bowls abound here. The vivid grain structure and variegated lip of each bowl harmonises with the natural ethos of Six Senses while the impeccable quality of Mediterranean olive wood offers a sumptuous, authentic accent to Istanbul’s location. Craster’s commitment to sustainability and the use of natural, replenish-able materials support Six Senses’s plastic-free ambitions.
