Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul has been awarded a “Five-Star” rating for 2021 within the scope of the annual “Star Awards”, the prestigious global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas established by Forbes Travel Guide, the world-renowned expert in genuine Five-Star service.
The top luxury hotel on the shores of the Bosphorus was evaluated in terms of service and product quality, according to over 900 objective and stringent standards by professionally trained and independent inspectors, who stayed in the hotel for a two-night stay, posing as regular guests and paying their own way. Even surpassing the “Five-Star” rating average in the world, Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul received one of the highest performance scores of the year in terms of the overall experience, product quality and especially the staff service. Stating that it will announce all award-winning hotels in the spring of 2021, Forbes Travel Guide inspired future travel planning by pre-announcing some of the outstanding hotels around the world, including Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul.

“We congratulate the entire team at this outstanding palace for achieving a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating,” said Filip Boyen, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. He added, “It is difficult to earn a Forbes Travel Guide Star Rating, but the team demonstrated sheer excellence and dedication and displayed one of the highest performance scores of the year. There are so many noteworthy elements at the hotel, such as the exceptionally thoughtful and kind staff, the high-quality food and beverage programme and the stand-out housekeeping team, who keep the elegant rooms looking impeccable. The staff are also impossibly stylish, making for a beautiful stay at one of Istanbul’s most luxurious hotels.”
