Situated inside the Quasar Istanbul complex, Fairmont Quasar Istanbul occupies two 40-story towers that sit atop a four-story office podium comprised of fitness facilities and luxury retail.

This can be particularly challenging nowadays when many destinations such as Istanbul are welcoming a different target profile of travellers – different nationalities, with different expectations. From the small details, staff are attentive to the needs and expectations of guests, making sure they are proactive and efficient. Staff are courteous, warm and caring – one can feel their genuine smile and their passion to serve.

Besides wearing of mask and social distancing, housekeeping staff are equipped with full PPE gear and rooms are sanitised and disinfected daily for a staying guest.
The ambiance is a sophisticated classic, which again, lends an air of effortless luxury.īeyond the very strict measures enforced by local authorities, the property has additionally implemented the AllSafe protocol conceived by Accor and hygiene certification specialist Bureau Veritas. Make sure you try all the Turkish cuisine varieties, the quality of fruits or vegetables is so rare nowadays. Housekeeping provides a flawless service, rooms feeling crisp even after a quick turn-down.īreakfast is offering an array of live cooking stations, the Stations Restaurant, and with the imposed ‘a-la-carte’ option, it feels less like a ”breakfast venue’. Beds are exceptionally comfortable and sound-proofing as well as ease of room controls (AC, DND, curtains) enhances ultimate pampering. Sinks for him and her and a large wardrobe add to the individual comfort of guests. Rooms and suites and among the largest in Istanbul with generously sized bathrooms, most of them with both shower and a bath-tub. The size of the pools, the pool areas, the large space dedicated to the actual Spa is a key differentiating factor, guests being able to consider a wellness stay within an urban resort.įrom the day the hotel opened, its Aila Restaurant specialised in Turkish cuisine was a major hit, even achieving to bring a solid target segment of locals (non-staying guests) who would not normally frequent a ‘hotel restaurant’.Ĭombining the heritage of the finest Turkish cuisine with flawless service, Aila is also a vibrant venue with live band music on certain evenings of the week. Aila boasts a Spice Library featuring the full panoply of exotic spices from the Spice Bazaar, where guests can also make purchase, as well as a mezze bar and a central “ocakbaşı” – traditional Turkish grill – a very rare feature in a hotel. The hotel proposed a wide range of offerings from two swimming pools, one of which is heated (indoors) and the other one with a unique quirky design by reputed Dutch artist Marcel Wonders. I was most impressed by the sheer quality of bespoke furnishings but also the attention of detail and quality of finishings, reflecting a long time approach by Fairmont and the owners for a product that may age well. The Fairmont DNA feature of subtly blending sleekness with effortless contemporary is instilled in every corner of the hotel. The lobby has a grandeur feel although it is made up several spaces (area) more defined by furnishings and lighting. the area is most safe at any time of the day, even just for a stroll. Over half of the inventory of accommodations have beautiful views of the city skyline and the Bosphorus in the distance.
With a mix of corporate and residential taller buildings. While some argue that its location in the Mecidiyeköy / Şişli area of Istanbul may not necessarily have the prestige of the Bosphorus the newly purpose build Fairmont Quasar is actually less than 10 minutes drive from all major attractions of the city.
