Recent Swissotel Bosphorus Istanbul Review: "We attend an annual conference at a local university on the outskirts of Istanbul. During the conference, we stay in the dormitories on campus. After enduring a week of Istanbul's high humidity without air conditioning, we look forward to staying in a luxury hotel before returning home. The Swissotel offers everything we could ask for - security, spacious rooms, excellent staff, great restaurants, a relaxing pool and spa, and an ideal location with scenic views of the Bosporus and convenient access to the sites and shops of Istanbul as well as the airport!"
