ISTANBUL The first incarnation of Swissôtel Living, a new residential guestroom concept by Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts, has been unveiled at Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul.
Sixty-three elegant apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units allow guests to enjoy the full range of hotel services in an apartment-style setting. More Swissôtel Living residences will follow in the future in other Swissôtel destinations.
The units may be rented for between one month and one year, with daily rent ranging from €600 to €4,000.
Conceived by designer Khuan Chew, the apartments enjoy a panoramic view of the Bosphorus and boast state-of-the-art technology, from LCD TVs to home cinema, fully-equipped kitchens and exquisite bathrooms. Guests may dine or use the library in the communal lounge at any time of day, while the rooftop pool and spacious roof terrace are exclusively available to tenants.
All services and facilities offered by the 5-star Swissôtel The Bosphorus, including the Amrita Spa & Wellness, are free to Swissôtel Living tenants. The comprehensive range of facilities also includes the fashionable Gaja restaurant, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, roomservice, the business center and extensive gardens.
“The designer Khuan Chew, whose work on the Burj Al Arab in Dubai earned her huge international success, has created a highly unusual architectural style for our new residences which represent the ultimate in modern living,” says General Manager Gerhard Struger, Swissôtel’s regional vice president for Turkey and Eastern Europe. “What’s more, Swissôtel Living is equipped with environmentally friendly technology: wastewater from the kitchens and bathrooms is recycled and used to water the gardens.”
