Viceroy Hotel Group has been selected as the operator of the new Nef Bebeköy development in Istanbul, Turkey.

Viceroy Istanbul, a luxury five-star urban resort, is scheduled to open in late 2013 and will mark Viceroy Hotel Group’s first European property, and second hotel project in Turkey after the Viceroy Bodrum which is currently under development and slated to open in 2014.

Spread across ten separate buildings and over 16 acres of land, offering 58 guest accommodations, Viceroy Istanbul will boast panoramic views of the Bosphorus.

The property will offer guests and residence luxury services including a casual and signature restaurant, banquet and meeting facilities, an outdoor art gallery, and a state-of-the-art full service fitness centre and spa.

“We are excited to expand our portfolio into one of the most influential and sought after tourist destinations in the world” said Anton Bawab, regional president of Viceroy Hotel Group.

“Viceroy Istanbul will not only add to the Group’s rapidly increasing international presence but will exemplify the same authentic, visionary design and superior personalised service that is represented in our other properties and has become signature to Viceroy Hotels & Resorts.”


The property, which dates back to the Ottoman Empire, will occupy the last large plot of undeveloped land in Bebeköy.
