EDITOR'S REVIEW
Get to know the venue before you go
On the 34th floor of Le Méridien Etiler, L'Eclipse pairs a 360-degree Istanbul panorama with cocktails, premium drinks and weekend DJ sets. The rooftop's terrace and private-event space make views from the Bosphorus to the FSM Bridge the focus of the night.
Music & programme
Sunset brings lounge, nu-disco and light house. Friday and Saturday DJ sets move into more energetic electronic dance music. Weekdays favour quieter lounge selections for the view and conversation. Corporate functions or private events can change the usual programme.
Atmosphere
A contemporary indoor room of roughly 250 square metres and an open terrace of similar size face the surrounding city lights. Panoramic windows and the high-floor perspective make the interior airy; the terrace has uninterrupted views of Istanbul's skyline and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge corridor.
Concept
A top-floor hotel cocktail lounge combining a wide terrace, international snacks, champagne, DJ nights and facilities for private functions.
Guest profile
Hotel guests, couples planning a date with a view, professionals from Etiler and Levent, international visitors, cocktail and champagne enthusiasts and weekend DJ audiences.
Dress code
Smart casual is expected: an elegant dress, shirt, blazer, tailored trousers or clean, polished city shoes suit the high-floor hotel bar.
Customer Review Summary
L'Eclipse Bar stands out as a tranquil spot for a post-dinner drink, offering panoramic views of Istanbul from a high floor and a chic, dimly lit décor. With a music volume that allows for conversation and an uncrowded atmosphere, it appeals to those looking to relax with a view rather than visit a nightclub. Visitors have praised the friendly hotel staff, the barrier-free access from the entrance to the bar, and the extensive menu. Prices are considered standard for a high-quality hotel bar, though generally viewed as expensive overall. The terrace can get quite windy, and there is a noticeable temperature difference compared to the indoor area; dressing accordingly is recommended. Although the number of reviews is limited, there appear to be no recurring issues regarding service or product quality.

Before your visit
Make sure L'Eclipse Bar is the destination. Wind on the high terrace can be noticeable and the venue may close entirely for a private event. Before leaving, ask whether the bar is serving individual guests and the outdoor space is open that evening.
