The city is enhancing its luxury scene by merging imperial heritage with modern experiences, particularly in the Nişantaşı district where jewellery artist Sevan Bıçakçı creates pieces inspired by Ottoman and Eastern Roman styles. The Bosphorus features the Çırağan Palace Kempinski, a former sultan's residence, and the Zeyrek Çinili Hamam, a 16th-century bathhouse that now showcases contemporary art.
