The traditional flagship of Divan Group’s collection of fine hotels, Divan Istanbul offers travel connoisseurs a unique interpretation of luxury design and Turkish hospitality .Carrying the signature of renowned Architect Thierry Despont, acclaimed worldwide for his bold re-imagining of public spaces, such as the Getty Center in Manhattan, and private ones, such as the home of Bill Gates, Divan Istanbul brings the same innovative style and state of the art luxury to the heart of this ancient and exotic city.

Featuring elegantly appointed guestrooms and the warm, attentive service combining the best of East and West that is the hallmark of Divan Hotels, the completely rebuilt Divan Istanbul has an over fifty year heritage yet is also one of Istanbul’s newest hotels.

Divan Istanbul features 191 rooms, including 41 standart rooms, 108 deluxe rooms,40 junior suites and 2 presidential suites.

All of Divan Istanbul’s spacious rooms combine our signature mix of comfort, elegant design and luxurious convenience. Our graciously appointed rooms are a refined setting in which to relax, work, reminisce about a day spent exploring the city or simply to enjoy the moment. You will find it just as comfortable to work in your room as to rest after a full day of meetings or taking in the wonders of Istanbul. All of our rooms are 33 square meters (355 sq. ft.) or larger but we believe outstanding comfort means more than just more space. It means finesse and attention to detail.

If you need to focus on completing a project, try the handsome custom-built leather top executive desk, which is ergonomically designed to enhance your productivity. Stay connected with our high-speed wired, and high-speed wireless internet connections.

When it is time to freshen up before drinks or dinner, you will appreciate your room’s elegantly appointed bath, decorated in harmonious marble tones and featuring both rain and hand-held showerheads. At your bedside you will find glass table-lamps by master artisan glassblower Robert DuGrenier, whose lighting is an integral part of a larger design statement that finds expression in every part of the hotel’s décor.

Divan Lokanta
Divan Lokanta is an Istanbul attraction in its own right and proudly upholds Divan’s decades-long tradition of fine dining featuring Mediterranean cuisine with a Turkish touch.

Divan Pub
It is not hard to understand why this restaurant, whose low-key style is enhanced with original artworks by the noted Turkish painter Necdet Kalay, is a favourite place for Istanbulites as well as Divan Istanbul guests to meet for a casual dinner or a drink. You will also quickly be seduced by its extensive and appealing menu featuring local specialties such as lahmacun, a thin flat bread filled with spicy minced meat, and pub favourites like the Divan cheeseburger with onion rings, as well as a variety of satisfying dishes straight off the grill, such as Pirzola, Turkish-style grilled lamb chops, or a gourmet pizza fresh from our stone oven. Divan Pub appeals to every taste, whether you like to eat light or enjoy a full home-style meal, and the Pub is your address for all-day dining from its delicious buffet breakfast to the attractive international cuisine served for lunch or dinner, and also offers bar service.

Puri Spa
After a long day of touring the city, chairing meetings, or evaluating the latest scientific discoveries at an international conference, there is no better way to reward and revitalise yourself than with a visit to the Puri Spa.
