Fodor's Expert Review Rios Edition Hotel

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Soft, neutral tones, from sand-hued wing chairs to chocolate-brown silky drapes, and a tranquil, monochromatic vibe provide a welcome respite from the busy streets of the Levent business district. Guest rooms have bedside wall switches controlling every light, plus soaking tubs, bath amenities by French apothecary Le Labo, and Bang & Olufsen 42-inch flat-screen TVs. For a splurge, there's a celebrity-worthy, 2,800-square-foot Penthouse suite. The three-story spa features a private spa suite for couples, a "snow cabin" for chilling down after a hot therapy, and a swimming pool with a giant, shell-like ceiling. Gathering spots include the Gold Bar, the go-to place for a sumptuous afternoon Turkish tea, the European brasserie-inspired Cipriani restaurant, and an on-site nightclub.
