Arcade Hotels in Türkiye from $55

"We had an unforgettable stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul during our first trip to Turkey with my parents (both in their 70s). The staff were warm, flexible, and incredibly helpful — from guiding us around the property to helping us book dinner at their Michelin-awarded restaurant with great vegetarian options. The pool and gym were spotless and serene, and the in-house jewelry store was a hidden gem — we left with five beautifully crafted pieces thanks to the knowledgeable owner. The highlight? They surprised us with framed photos of our family taken from my Instagram post, along with a handwritten letter. Such a thoughtful, above-and-beyond gesture. We can’t wait to come back!"

"This was our second visit to Swandor, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations! We had a truly wonderful experience from start to finish and are already looking forward to returning again. The kids absolutely loved it — the entertainment and facilities were outstanding, with so much on offer that it’s impossible to name everything. A special thank you to Demircan, Fatima, Elen, Laura, the amazing staff at Rino, the hardworking cleaners, and so many others who made our stay so comfortable and memorable. Their warmth, support, and outstanding service truly made us feel at home. Swandor continues to be a perfect family getaway for us, and we can’t wait for our next visit!"
