Istanbul has a new reason to turn heads. Enter Aliée (Instagram)—a bold hospitality concept located on the fabled shores of the Golden Horn. It’s more than a hotel. It’s a lifestyle playground, a cultural hub, and a gathering place for what it calls the “House of Curious Minds.” In partnership with Paris Society, this just-opened destination at Tersane Istanbul is setting a new bar for experiential travel in the city and beyond.
At Aliée, forget formality. You’re not checking into a room—you’re stepping into a curated narrative of design, gastronomy, and well-being. With 122 individually styled chambers and suites across four historic buildings (Foundry, Casthouse, Atelier, and the exclusive Heritage Villa), the property blends Istanbul’s architectural heritage with forward-looking luxury. Each space is wrapped in thoughtful details: king-sized beds with bespoke pillow menus, sleep manuals, curated minibars, and art from local creatives.
Aliée’s food scene is anything but ordinary. With eight distinct culinary experiences—including Taste, helmed by three-Michelin-starred chef Thomas Bühner, and the glamorously cheeky Pink Bar—the dining offering feels like a passport to global tastes. Want a waterside lunch followed by a midnight pizza under the stars? There’s Little House. Craving champagne by the pool or DJ-led sunset cocktails? Head to the Aliée Swim Club. And if you’re in the mood for something sultry, Mondaine de Pariso Istanbul delivers Parisian vibes with a Turkish twist.
Aliée doesn’t just offer a spa—it builds a philosophy around it. The Aliée Well+ concept spans three levels and 4,000 sqm of holistic care: think hammams, Russian banyas, cryotherapy, epigenetic screenings, and Turkish tea rituals. It’s part clinic, part sanctuary, all wrapped in marble, light, and serenity. For guests chasing peak performance or post-party revival, the Longevity Clinic and Aliée Well+ Active blend good old fashion excercise with the latest in biohacking.
From the arrival by boat across the Golden Horn to curated in-room touches and immersive cultural programming, Aliée makes luxury feel personal again. This is more than a destination—it’s a sensorial journey. And as Istanbul continues its rise as a global creative capital, Aliée plants a confident flag at its centre.
