The Peninsula Istanbul Wins One To Watch Award As Part Of The World´s 50 Best Hotels 2024
The
Peninsula Istanbul, on the banks of the Bosphorus in the historic Karaköy
district, has been named winner of the One To Watch Award in advance of The
World's 50 Best Hotels awards 2024. This award is given to a rising-star hotel
that has made a positive impression on the 600-strong Academy and the wider
industry, and has been identified by the 50 Best team as having the potential
to feature in a future edition of The World's 50 Best Hotels list.
This
is the second of two special accolades announced before the official awards
ceremony on 17 September 2024 at London's historic
Guildhall.
The
Peninsula Istanbul encompasses a collection of buildings, including protected
historical landmarks from the early 20th century. The Lobby is a carefully
refurbished, glass-fronted structure, which was Türkiye's first modern cruise
terminal built in the 1940s. 177 rooms comprise 138 guest rooms and 39 suites
including The Peninsula Suite, one of the largest in the city. It includes a
private hammam, gym, screening room, balconies and a private rooftop pool. Most
rooms have views over the Bosphorus and the rooftops of Istanbul's Old
Town.
Emma
Sleight, Head of Content at The World's 50 Best Hotels, says: "Hotels of
this stature and consideration don't open often and The Peninsula Istanbul's
launch created real excitement across the industry. The historic buildings have
been adapted sensitively and seamlessly, without compromising their heritage.
The Peninsula group is one of the oldest luxury hotel brands, opening its first
hotel in 1928, and this hotel continues a legacy of excellence, setting the
gold standard for the future of hotels. It is because of this that The
Peninsula Istanbul has won this award."
Managing
Director of The Peninsula Istanbul, Jonathan Cook, comments:
"Receiving this accolade is a tremendous validation of the incredible
effort, dedication, and passion that our team has poured into this property.
The response to those who have experienced our hospitality firsthand
underscores that we are on the right path, particularly considering how young
our hotel is. It places us proudly on the radar of global excellence in
hospitality."
