Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas opens Six Senses Kocataş Mansions in two restored Ottoman-era houses in Istanbul, Turkey. The new hotel is located in the prosperous Sariyer district of Istanbul’s European side, famous for its “Pearls of Bosphorus” waterfront properties. The design of the urban resort is inspired by the historic architectural features from the site’s former 19th century Kocataş Mansions, which were devastated in a fire years ago.
The former mansion was named after Ottoman Minister of Justice Necmettin Molla Kocataş, owner of Kocataş Water. Six Senses Kocataş Mansions is home to 45 generously proportioned guest rooms and suites which are divided between the two stately three-level heritage mansions, together with lounges, banqueting and function rooms and a gallery.
Guests are invited to taste the specialty menu at the Toro Latin GastroBar and admire the elegant décor styled by the restaurateur Richard Sandoval. The venue serves Pan-Latin and Asian cuisines and features cocktails shaken or stirred by a resident mixologist. The all-day Kahve café is located in a bohemian-style gilded hall offering up sweet and sticky pastries and refreshing Bosphorus views in turn.
GEMs (Guest Experience Makers) can help guests relax and reconnect, while enjoying the exciting attractions of the picturesque Sariyer district, sea and city. Six Senses Kocataş Mansions, Istanbul will keep the guests entertained by the water. A private boat moored in front of the property on the Bosphorus will be available for enjoying sightseeing trips and excursions.
The historic city center of Istanbul is a short boat ride away and the Istanbul New Airport, the largest hub in the world, is a 40-minute drive by private vehicle provided by the hotel. The stately heritage mansions together with the all-day Kahve café, Toro Latin GastroBar and gym are scheduled to open in November 2019, with more facilities to join by next Spring.
