Loti Roof Lounge

Perched on the 6th floor of the Pierre Loti Hotel Old City, and connected with the Loti Bistro on the ground floor, the modern, trendy and sophisticated Loti Roof Lounge offers panoramic 360° views over the Bosphorus, Marmara Sea, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Golden Horn. Above the heart of Sultanahmet, here you can indulge in a wide range of Turkish and International cuisine, complemented with an extensive wine list, as well as a variety of cocktails and other local and international drinks.

Sitting on the top floor of the Swissotel in Beşiktaş, this bar offers amazing Bosphorus views, fantastic music, dancing, and a delicious menu of food and drinks. Yes, it’s upmarket and yes, it’s a little expensive, but it’s more than worth it for a special night with a guaranteed stunning view no matter where you sit. This is one of the most popular bars in Istanbul, and at around 10 pm, the evening hots up as DJs take over, giving you plenty of opportunity to dance the night away.

Talk about stunning views, accompanied by great vibes and delicious food & drinks, then look no further than 16 Roof, on top of the Swissôtel The Bosphorus. The Ankara born chef leading the restaurant has travelled through Europe and Asia to develop this contemporary Turkish menu with influences from his journeys. Sharing seafood platters, dry aged steaks, or Chef’s very own creation of Çökertme kebab are all worth savoring.

Loti Roof Lounge is a fantastic spot to relax and unwind while enjoying the magnificent views of Istanbul’s Bosphorus, Marmara Sea, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Golden Horn day and night.

Situated atop the Swissôtel, 16 Roof restaurant boasts stunning views of the Bosphorus. The interior is modern and minimalist with soft blue tones that reflect the hues of the river itself.

Located on the rooftop of the Swissôtel the Bosphorus, 16 Roof brings a sleek, modern vibe with jaw-dropping views of the Bosphorus Strait. The menu boasts international cuisine with Turkish touches, and the cocktails are as vibrant as the sunset views. A DJ often spins late into the night, so be ready to turn dinner into dancing.

Swissotel The Bosphorus has great views pretty much everywhere you look—from the lobby to the guest rooms—but its 16 Roof that offers the best of the bunch. This striking rooftop bar offers pinch-me panoramic views of the city skyline and the Bosphorus while the modern Turkish menu and creative cocktails come as a bonus.

For a fancy night out, go to the roof lounge of the Pierre Loti Hotel. After a long evening of shopping in the Grand Bazaar, we were desperate to find a place to relax and unwind.

16 Roof within Swissotel is undoubtedly one of the best venues in Istanbul, with its award-winning cuisine as well as having one of the best views of the city. However, this time our focus is on the whiskey menu of the venue. There are separate sections for malt, bourbon and rye whiskeys.

I’ve not eaten too many of them myself – I prefer the food scene on the Taksim side – but popular options are The Last Ottoman Cafe and Restaurant, the Loti Cafe and Roof Lounge and Antakya Restaurant.
