Luxury Hotel Spurs Revival of Istanbul’s Historic Tersane District

Expansive wellness facilities, an array of dining destinations, a cabaret club, luxury accommodations and sweeping pools arrive in Istanbul with the debut of Aliée Istanbul. Opening this fall on the city’s iconic Golden Horn in the historic Tersane district, the hotel brings Parisian charm and refined elegance to a storied urban setting.

Positioned across a collection of restored historic buildings, the upscale hotel features 122 guestrooms and suites, six distinct culinary venues and a comprehensive wellness concept called Well+. Guests can choose from suites in the Casthouse, where centuries-old stone walls meet lofty ceilings; accommodations in the Atelier Building framed by glass canopies and hanging greenery; or one of ten Foundry suites with towering ceilings, arched windows and views over Tersane gardens and the old town.

Each room and suite includes access to the hotel’s shorefront Swim Club, a vintage-meets-contemporary country-club environment highlighted by a shorefront lagoon pool and an Olympic lap pool. The surrounding lawns provide ideal space for sunrise yoga, meditation or sound-bath sessions, creating a tranquil contrast to the city beyond.

Well+ occupies more than 13,000 square feet and is designed to be one of the region’s most forward-thinking wellness destinations. Facilities include marble hammams, an indoor pool, a Russian-style banya, traditional saunas, cold plunges, multiple treatment rooms and a Longevity Clinic. The hotel’s gym is also housed within the wellness complex, offering fitness programs alongside restorative therapies.

Dining at Aliée Istanbul spans six restaurants and bars, each reflecting the city’s rich culinary heritage while introducing international influences. Taste is led by three-Michelin-starred chef Thomas Bühner and presents an open-kitchen experience that bridges Eastern and Western flavors. Mondaine de Pariso offers an immersive dinner-and-show experience inspired by 19th-century Paris, while Little House serves seasonal dishes from morning through midnight. For outdoor dining, Hasbahçe overlooks the Golden Horn, offering creations such as Neapolitan-style pizza with a Turkish twist. Guests can also enjoy craft cocktails at the Pink Bar.

As the latest property in the Paris Society Collection, Aliée Istanbul aims to blend historical character with contemporary luxury, offering guests a harmonious mix of cultural context, culinary variety and wellness-driven amenities on one of Istanbul’s most picturesque waterways.
