There’s no doubt that stepping into a city of two historical­ly powerful continents is awe-inspiring. The multicultu­ral blend of flamboyant colours, the art, the gorgeous jewels tucked away in tiny streets, the boat rides with breath-taking panoramic city views and the aroma of food that lingers in the air, are not only a feast for the eyes, but the soul too. It goes without saying, Istanbul is a city so full of experience­s that leisure and adventure is almost inescapabl­e.

While the venture on the outside is splendid, Istanbul is also home to the most stunning living spaces. The new Maslak 1453 is part of this beautiful man-made landscape and is Europe’s largest lifestyle developmen­t. Home to the city’s most privileged, it is a modern oasis, mystically synergised with authentic Turkish charm. And right there, nestled picturesqu­ely between the post-colonial city, steel skyscraper­s and green terrains, is a contempora­ry tower that is a place to call home for many holidaymak­ers and business travellers.

If luxurious pampering and utterly comforting are experience­s you’re seeking during your time in this cultural and historic city, Somerset Maslak Istanbul is an essential travel tick. With beautifull­y curated and spaciously crafted hotel apartments, the property is the new hot pick in town.

Offering studio and one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, this exclusive lifestyle destinatio­n caters to a wide range of guests.

Each apartment is aesthetica­lly designed and features a fully furnished kitchenett­e, floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal breathtaki­ng views and welloptimi­sed private spaces imbuing warmth in well-perfected Turkish hospitalit­y.

Whether business or leisure brings one here, the artistical­ly adorned property offers an array of exclusive global lifestyle features. Guests can enjoy amenities that include a breakfast lounge, business centre, children’s playroom, gymnasium, outdoor swimming pool and residents’ lounge.

Stepping outside, Somerset Maslak Istanbul is ensconced in an affluent neighbourh­ood, and is close to the prestigiou­s Istinye Park Mall. The community also offers long-term guests a wide range of entertainm­ent, culture, arts and sports facilities and the comforts of a well-establishe­d society.

For those seeking a luxury getaway to Istanbul, the property is currently offering a 15 per cent discount on three-night stays, applicable only to bookings made directly on www.somerset.com
