Lulu Bosphorus

Contemporary lounge, deep house and international pop gain pace after sunset. DJs on selected evenings and at private events can give dinner a nightlife feel. Everyday service follows lounge playlists; without an event, do not expect a separate live stage.

On the glass-surrounded seventh-floor terrace, pale seating faces the Bosphorus alongside marble surfaces and plants. Sunset colors and lights along the shore meet warm interior lighting.

A panoramic hotel-rooftop restaurant with international cuisine, breakfast, signature drinks and hookah. It works as a scenic restaurant by day and a more rhythmic social lounge at night.

Travelers seeking breakfast with a view, couples at dinner, friends who enjoy hookah and celebration groups. Arabic- and English-speaking international guests are particularly common.

Smart casual or evening attire suits the setting: a neat shirt, refined top, dress or city shoes. Beachwear is less suited to a dinner with a view.

Lulu Bosphorus is a lounge that has built a loyal following thanks to its Bosphorus views from the window-side tables, high-quality hookah, and delicious food and drinks. Some visitors return multiple times during a single trip, and the atmosphere and service are generally highly praised. Table location significantly influences the overall experience. There are complaints that prices have risen over the years, undisclosed service charges are added on special occasions, and guests are not informed that birthday cakes come at an extra cost. Management’s initial lack of assistance regarding lost items has also drawn criticism. Details regarding "view tables" and celebration services should be discussed thoroughly at the time of booking.
