For over a century, Raffles hotels have been known as the meeting place for great minds; very special places where imaginations can take flight and inspiration arrive. In designing our hotel, Raffles has created something elegantly contemporary - the perfect venue for meetings, events and unforgettable parties.
With spaces large enough for a car launch (indeed, there is a specially designed vehicle entrance into our 1200 seat ballroom), yet small enough for the most intimate social gathering, Raffles Istanbul is ideal for any kind of event.
Rooms include a beautiful boardroom as well a selection of inspiring spaces to fit your imagination. All have a TV screen, wireless technology and can be configured exactly to your needs.
Meanwhile, as you'd expect, everything is taken care of. With dedicated meeting planners, your own Meeting Concierge, and a specialist AV team, you'll have everything (and everyone) you need to make the event run perfectly.
Discretely positioned in the Zorlu Center, Raffles Istanbul mixes natural elements with angular architecture to create a place you'll never forget, in a city that is timeless.
The story continues ...
Different venues for events:
- Ballroom of 1200sq.m able to accommodate 900 guests in a banquet style and 1200 for a reception
- 7 private meeting rooms and 1 boardroom
- Outdoor event facilities
Raffles Istanbul presents an opening offer with 20% off rooms and suites and additional benefits.
