Rixos Tersane Istanbul, the crown jewel of the Rixos Group, has officially opened its doors. With nearly 25 years of excellence, the Rixos Group has built a reputation for delivering top-tier service, and its latest venture is no exception. The grand inauguration of the flagship property was also attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Spread across three continents and eight countries, the group’s latest offering masterfully combines history, culture, and art through its interior décor. The Rixos Group’s flagship property has indeed set a new standard in luxury with its 432 exquisitely designed rooms.
Its strategic location near the city center and seamless integration with the area’s historic architecture make it a prime destination for both local and international travelers. The hotel is also easily accessible by sea, adding to its allure.
Speaking of this exciting project, Chairman of the Board of Rixos Hotels, Fettah Tamince, explained, “We are revitalizing the 600-year-old Tersane Istanbul, which reflects the most valuable elements of Istanbul’s cultural and industrial heritage yet has been in disuse for many years, thanks to the vision of our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the efforts of our Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, and we are restoring it as a modern living space for the citizens of Istanbul.”
Rixos Tersane Istanbul is placing culture, art, and sports at the core of its guest experience. Situated by the historic Golden Horn, a symbol of wealth and trade since the Byzantine era, the hotel draws inspiration from its rich surroundings. The place has curated a unique art collection centered on cultural sustainability, showcasing works by local and international artists. A catalog and digital archive will complement this collection.
Furthermore, the hotel’s grand venues, including the Tersane Ballroom and Event Hall, will serve as hubs for prestigious local and international events, further elevating its cultural significance. Guests can indulge in gourmet dining, unwind with rejuvenating sports activities, and bask in the infinity pool overlooking the iconic Golden Horn.
Mr. Tamince further added, “The first phase of the project has been completed with an exemplary conservation approach. Rixos Tersane Istanbul, which we have opened in this unique area that is about once again to become a part of the city’s memory, will bring a brand-new perspective to urban hospitality. It will make a significant contribution to the economy and employment. Rixos Tersane Istanbul will also play an important role in passing down this deep-rooted cultural heritage to future generations. We meticulously considered every detail of Rixos Tersane Istanbul, from its design to its architecture. I hope this new venture, which is far more than just a commercial project for me, will benefit our city and our country.”
