Why Visit Aliée Istanbul?

Few Istanbul hotels combine a historic industrial setting, a waterfront lawn and a pool scene like this one. Guests are close to the water, yet only a short drive from Galata Tower and İstiklal.

It is a hotel for people who want the stay itself to be part of the trip: pools, restaurants, bars and wellness without leaving the compound.

Highlights of Aliée Istanbul

A restored shipyard on the Golden Horn

The hotel is in Tersane Istanbul, a former shipyard site on the Golden Horn. Rooms are in buildings such as the Casthouse, with old stone walls and very tall ceilings, and the Foundry, with arched windows.

The old industrial architecture gives the hotel a character unlike the palaces and tower hotels elsewhere in the city.

Tip: Ask for a room in a historic building if the architecture matters to you.

The Aliée Swim Club

The Swim Club sits on the lawns along the shore and takes its cue from a vintage country club. It is open to hotel guests and to members.

A pool bar serves drinks, and pool access is listed from 09:00 to 19:00.

Tip: Ask whether day access is available if you are not staying.

Aliée Well+

The wellness area covers about 43,000 square feet and draws on hammam traditions. Alongside it sit a fitness studio, Aliée Well+ Active, and a longevity clinic with personalised programmes.

A spa with massages and body treatments is also listed.

Tip: Book treatments before you arrive.

Six dining concepts

The hotel offers a variety of restaurants and bars for different occasions, including a lobby lounge, a farm-to-table dining room with indoor trees, a chef-led open-kitchen concept, a Parisian-style evening restaurant and two bars.

Several other restaurants stand within the Tersane compound.

Tip: Reserve dinner for the first night; popular tables fill early.

Arrival by boat

Trade coverage says guests can arrive by speedboat, and the hotel sits near the Rahmi Koç Museum with Galata Tower within a short reach.

The waterfront setting adds to the sense of arrival.

Tip: Ask the hotel about the boat transfer and its schedule.

Designed rooms

Each of the 122 rooms is designed individually, with premium bedding, heated floors, a pillow menu and soundproofing. The interior design is by a Los Angeles studio.

The mood is a mix of heritage and contemporary comfort.

Tip: Compare room categories before booking, since the buildings differ.

Atmosphere

The mood is stylish, social and slightly theatrical, with a lively pool and bar scene in summer and a calmer, spa-focused mood in winter. The hotel attracts a fashionable crowd and members who use the Swim Club.

The compound is large, with other restaurants and venues beside it.
