  1. I’ve been to Istanbul, but I’ve never seen any suites designed like this. It’s unique and amazing.

  2. Hi Lissa,
    I loved Istanbul, although I would very much like to go back on a longer trip. The feature article about the city goes live on Saturday here. Do check it out and comment, if you have time.

    The suite is amazing. The intricate details and amazing quality and craftsmanship are sublime.
    Thanks
    Jackie

  3. Interesting that they’ve chosen Turkey as their first location in Europe. What’s the connection between Bentley and Turkey? Is it a key market for them?

  4. Well that is certainly a wonderful way to enjoy a bustling and vibrant city like Istanbul. Almost a shame to go outside, but when you have a full day of discoveries, this is definitely a wonderful escape from the bustle.

  5. Seriously cool – I like the shapes, it has something of a marine/yacht look to it. Very swanky indeed – I’m not sure I’d want to sit down for fear of making it less perfect!

  6. Insanely gorgeous! Do they pick me up in a Bentley from the airport?
    I really love the bed!

    They really seem to have thought of every facet.
    Is that the shower at the end of the bathroom?
    Also, I take it there’s only one in the hotel?

  7. Hi Adi
    Thanks for your comment and question. Keep an eye out for the next article from the trip, which I believe should go live here on Saturday. It was my first time in Istanbul, and I can understand why you are asking about the choice of Istanbul as a destination, from Bentley’s perspective.

    As far as I understand it, it is simply as Christophe Georges, Director of Product and Marketing, commented: “The emergence of Turkey as a modern luxury destination affords Bentley the opportunity to bring our signature style and contemporary design to a new and discerning audience of travellers who want to experience the soul and sophistication of a gateway city in an environment of exceptional materials and finishes.”

    The boat trip that you will see mentioned in the next post, did include a lovely stop off to Bentley in Istanbul. They are located on the edge of the Bosphorus.

    Thanks

  8. Noel, I loved what I saw of Istanbul and yes it was the perfect way to enjoy the city. The St. Regis was superb, the suite amazing and the guide that took us around, was excellent. More about that in the next post!

  9. Absolutely Anna! Seriously cool and even cooler actually! :) I actually had a huge issue with my flight connection, cutting a very long story short, I had to run in Heathrow to make the flight connection. When I arrived to the boarding gate, they said I was no longer on the flight. What?? Anyhow it was sorted, but I asked about my luggage before getting on the plane. I was assured it was ok. I arrived to Istanbul, and guess what…no luggage. Can you imagine how I felt entering the sumptuous suite after a day of travelling, and the issues I had encountered, with no fresh clothes for the evening? :) Anyhow, everyone involved was so charming, that I soon forgot!

  10. If I was staying, I don’t think I’d know which way to turn – the panoramic views of the city outside or the wonderful design touches of the interior. A sofa with built-in bottle coolers is a new one on me also!

  11. Yes Kerwin, it is insanely gorgeous. :) For now there aren’t pick ups in a Bentley, it could happen in the future however, but nothing definite for the moment. That is the rainforest shower, and yes it is the only Bentley Suite in the St. Regis Istanbul.

  12. You’re right Kathryn, it would make a lovely surprise for anyone. Not sure if you’ve been to Istanbul before, but the other post from this trip will go live tomorrow, so if you haven’t been that will give you a small taste of Istanbul.

  13. Spot on Paul! That is exactly the impact of being in the Bentley Suite in such a superb location had on me also. The design touches are just fabulous.

  14. Wow what an excellent blog on Instanbul…….we didnt get the chance to see has much as you but do agree with what you said about it does make you want to see and explore more xxxx

  15. Thanks so much Karen! I really appreciate the comment. I guess maybe you need to go back to Istanbul and perhaps splash out on a night in the Bentley Suite. xxx
