Istanbul - Swissôtel Bosphorus and the Four Seasons-Istanbul

Although I cruised to Istanbul on the Silversea Silver Shadow, we disembarked in Istanbul. However, we decided to spend an extra day in this fascinating city, so we stayed at the Swissôtel. My room at the Swissôtel in Istanbul was modern and very comfortable. The view of the Bosphorus from the window was spectacular. While touring the city, we ate a wonderful buffet lunch at the Four Seasons and took a tour of this small boutique hotel that used to be an old jail. It's quite luxurious now, as the pictures demonstrate. I would highly recommend either of these hotels when you travel to Istanbul. Click on each photo to enlarge.
