Çırağan Palace is a place where luxury, tradition, and history are uniquely interwoven. It was the last residence of the sultans in the 19th century, and briefly housed the first parliament of the Ottoman Empire. In the 1990s, the Kempinski Group purchased this architectural jewel and transformed it into one of the most exclusive hotels on the Bosphorus. Opulent fabrics and luxurious décor bring the past to life in the magnificent halls, and even the kitchen pays homage to classic specialties from the Ottoman Empire.
