Set in the revived Tersane historical district, the opening marks Rixos’ thirteenth hotel in Türkiye and will be a flagship property for the brand.

Outside of the hotel, the area offers an unforgettable romantic backdrop combining its rich history with picturesque views along the Golden Horn, couples can enjoy a peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront overlooking the beautiful Bosphorus river or watch the sunset at the nearby Galata Bridge.
