Award-winning Millennium Hotels & Resorts launches its first hotel in Turkey

Istanbul, 16 April 2018: This April, the award-winning Millennium Hotels and Resorts celebrates their first opening in Turkey with the launch of the five-star Millennium Istanbul Golden Horn Hotel. Named after the nearby 'Haliç' or primary inlet of the famous Bosphorus, guests will have a front row seat to Istanbul's world famous urban waterway.

Located in the heart of the city's historical centre, within the garden of The Palace of Blachernae and opposite the Ayazma and the Church St. Mary of Blachaernae, the hotel is within easy reach of Istanbul's most exciting places of interest. These include the Kariye (Khora) Mosque and Museum and the characteristic neighborhood of Balat, with its colorful century-old Ottoman houses protected by UNESCO, with the iconic Pierre Loti Hill only a five minute drive away and the city's historic Holy Churches, Synagogues and Mosques within walking distance.

Accommodating 127 chicly designed rooms and suites, Millennium Istanbul Golden Horn Hotel will boast a state of the art fitness centre, luxury spa and Turkish hammam and extensive business centre, including a 404-sqm ballroom and meeting rooms.

For all-day dining, Keros offers a wide range of innovative world cuisine and Turkish specialties including an extensive breakfast buffet. Those looking for a superior steakhouse coupled with magnificent views across the Golden Horn can visit Tekfur for lunch or dinner, whilst the Kathisma Private Dining Room invites diners to experience an array of famous special plates, with dishes designed to take guests back to the Byzantium period.
