Perched on the European shore of the Bosphorus in Beşiktaş, this luxury hotel earns its views the old-fashioned way, by putting the strait front and center from nearly every angle. The Shangri-La name carries a certain amount of pressure, and the team leans into it with Asian-inflected hospitality layered over Turkish warmth. A Forbes Four Star property, it draws the kind of guests who want a spa day and a water view without choosing between them.
