"Ciragan Palace Kempinski (No. 3) is an obvious example. Originally built in 1863 by Sultan Abdulaziz, it is the only Ottoman imperial palace and hotel on the Bosphorus, filled with 310 rooms amid magnificent, marbled atriums originally designed for royalty. Despite the grandeur, the hotel's hallways exude a solemn humility; it's a place to stay as well as a living, breathing museum." - Travel + Leisure Editors
