About Ciragan Palace Kempinski

Ciragan Palace Kempinski is a 19th-century Ottoman palace located on the Bosphorus in Istanbul, now operating as a luxury hotel.

Built during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz, it once hosted royal events and later served various state functions. The structure blends Ottoman architecture with European influences and features marble columns, grand halls, and waterfront views.

Though modernized for hospitality, parts of the original palace are preserved and used for cultural and ceremonial occasions or weddings.
