The newly-opened restaurant serves Turkish classics, created by master chef Tolga Atalay in a contemporary bistro setting, which includes a 3-D holographic belly dancer, burnished leather wallpaper, alabaster marble bar, etched smoked mirror inlays and azure columns.

Featuring 136 Ottoman-inspired guest rooms and suites, W Istanbul offers private gardens, terraces and cabanas; two signature restaurants, including Okka and Minyon, which opened in 2011; W Day Spa; fitness centre; W Lounge; and meeting rooms.

W Istanbul was the first W hotel to open in Europe, followed by locations in Doha, Barcelona, London, St. Petersburg, and most recently, Paris.
