A Royal Wellness Treatment
Istanbul is an astonishing city where the cultures of East
meet West, and history comes alive. Located in the Beyoglu
District, with a sultan's view of the Bosphorous River,
central city, Sultanahmet and the Asian continent is The
Central Palace.
The hotel's location couldn't be better. It's located just
steps from Taksim Square, a long pedestrian walkway once
known as the Grande Rue de Pera and is filled with restaurants,
bars, street vendors and shops. Day or night, it's the place
you want to be.
The Central Palace is one of the few hotels in the city
dedicated to the concept of "Wellness." With 49 rooms and
6 suites, The Central Palace treats visitors to a healthy
and exclusive Turkish experience. Guests are greeted with
their choice of one of 30+ "wellness" drinks designed to
treat everything from simple colds and insomnia to the "Afrodizyak,"
which enhances sexual performance.
|
|
The "Wellness" menu extends through breakfasts, where the
buffet offers a multitude of healthy hot and cold items.
As the hotel name would imply, the rooms in The Central
Palace are formal, offering hardwood floors, rich tapestries,
Turkish carpets, plush couches and bedding ... and yes,
ottomans.
We strongly suggest that you try to book the "Bosphorous
Suite." Located on the 11th floor, this sprawling 1,100
square foot apartment has a 60-foot balcony where you can
enjoy views of the Bosphorous, flat screen televisions,
and in-room whirlpool tub and steam shower.
The hotel staff, including Manager Erdam Onsal, is extremely
helpful in booking tours to all religious and cultural sites,
as well as river trips and excursions.
Rates start at € 130.

Berlin's Sexiest Address
The Bleibtreu Hotel is a dazzling high concept hotel, which
seamlessly blends traditional and modern. Owned by renowned
hoteliers, the Samuel Braun Group, and designed by Herbert
Jacob Weinand, this 60 room boutique hotel is pure sexy.
The Bleibtreu, which literally means "Remain Faithful,"
is located in a renovated 19th century Charlottenburg Partition
home on one of the most elegant side streets crossing Kurfurstendamm
(or Ku'damm as it is known). The hotel is a regular drop-in
spot for hip Berliners from the worlds of media, architecture,
advertising and the arts.
|
 |
All of the furniture has been personally designed by Weinand
and the hotel is an ideal environment to display his untreated
woods, unique textiles, mosaics and Murano glass works.
The Bleibtreu rooms are a successful experiment in combining
style and comfort. From the vanities to the beds, from the
showers to the armoires, every item is functional, carefully
selected and creates a clean feeling of space.

Sensual Food Experience
The hotel's restaurant "31" may very well offer the best
and healthiest menu of any other hotel in Berlin. In fact,
it was singled out for the Fit Food Award for the third
time running in 2005. Chef Dirk Schlerfer dazzles guests
with an organic menu that is as creative and innovative
as the hotel itself.
For casual or quick dining, Deli 31 serves everything from
snacks and multi-course Mediterranean and Asian inspired
dishes and Bar 31 serves snacks and, and espresso.
The hotel also houses an extraordinary flower shop called
Blumen 31, which sells exotic blossoms, tantalizing arrangements
and rare types of roses.
The hotel's Wellness Center provides guests and locals with
a variety of individual wellness treatments, including massage,
acupuncture, yoga and personal training.
Rates start at € 122 an offer one of the best values
in the city for a 4 star hotel.
