Six Senses Kocatas Mansion

Add to wishlist Contact us

Located in the prestigious Sariyer district of Istanbul, the new Six Senses is a converted historic mansion that offers remarkable views over the Bosphorus. Look further beyond the mansion and discover a spa and wellness experience set within lush landscaping that provides the perfect antidote to city life.

All three restaurants are headed up by celebrity chefs, so expect some exciting dining. When exploring downtown Istanbul jump on the complimentary hotel shuttle boat, a smart and eco way to avoid the traffic and noise of the city at a relaxing pace.

 

Why we like Six Senses Kocatas Mansions

The Six Senses experience team, collaborating with the local community has curated some interesting and alternative days out for visitors to Istanbul.

Facilities

Imagine a fusion of local flavours with Six Senses touches.  The mansions are shared between two stately buildings known as Kocatas Mansions and Sait Pasa Mansion. Amongst the 45 rooms, there is a choice of Bosphorus Rooms for that stunning classic view.

Expect lip-smacking meals in all three restaurants, each headed up by celebrity chefs. Dine inside an old cistern for a quirky lunch spot on the banks of the Bosphorus.

Location

A 40 minutes’ drive from Istanbul new airport. The fun thing about being located outside of the city is the complimentary Old Town boat shuttle, running between the hotel and downtown.

The early morning balloon trip was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip, but a trip of so many lovely and varied highlights. The wine tasting was such a lovely surprise and what a great region for wines. Thank you for arranging this. We look forward to our next adventure with Steppes!

Turkey

What really separated Steppes from the rest of the pack was their willingness to work so patiently and with such an open mind with my rather specific desires.

Steppes Travel

It is always a pleasure to 'plan' adventures with Steppes and to travel in the knowledge that everything has been carefully thought through in advance by experts who know exactly what they are talking about and go out of their way to tailor-make each trip.  Having all the 'bits in-between' planned for in advance means that we can travel worry-free which adds to the overall pleasure of the trip. I'd give you 10/10!

Steppes Travel

I was thoroughly and consistently impressed with the Steppes home office--amazing attention to detail, follow-up, patience with my endless demands and tweaking of the schedule.  The team were superb with everything they did for me.  I am so very pleased with their efforts and results; they have won me over to Steppes for life!  

Steppes Travel

Overall another amazing trip from Steppes Travel. We saw so many different sights and had so many new experiences. Would always highly recommend Steppes.
