Timeless elegance anchored on the Bosphorus Anchored on the European shores of the Bosphorus strait in a historical building from the 1930’s, Shangri-La Bosphorus sits in the Beşiktaş district and is only a 15 minute walk from the iconic Dolmabahçe Palace. Guests will find solace in chandelier-accented rooms and suites accentuated by soothing cool tones, inspired by palatial Ottoman glamour and Asian design elements.
