## About the hotel
The Peninsula Istanbul opened in early 2023 on the Karaköy waterfront, spread across four buildings of which three are restored historic structures. Its position on the European shore looks directly across the water to the domes and minarets of the old city, including Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. As the Peninsula group's first European hotel, it arrived with the brand's characteristic emphasis on space and craftsmanship rather than volume.
