00:04Willkommen in Istanbul!
00:05Wir sind hier, um all things Luxury zu beschäftigen.
00:08In dieser Iconik-Turkisch-City,
00:10true sophistication stands out
00:12because it's rooted in culture.
00:14And what better place to start
00:16than in Nişan Teşe,
00:17one of the city's most elegant neighborhoods.
00:26Istanbul straddles Europe and Asia
00:28and each side has its own unique charm.
00:32I'm starting my visit on the European side
00:35and Nişan Teşe is the place to be
00:37for the fashionable crowd.
00:42But there's more to the city than modern luxury.
00:46Giula Sevan Becakce draws on Istanbul's rich heritage
00:50in his work.
00:51Known as the King of Rings,
00:52his creations blend Ottoman and Eastern Roman influences
00:56through exceptional craftsmanship.
00:59Each piece is one of a kind,
01:01often taking months to create.
01:03His rare approach is recognized
01:06at the highest level of fine jewelry.
01:22Each of his creations tells a story
01:25and wearing one of them feels like a rare privilege.
01:28The place that I see in the world
01:32is the place of the heritage.
01:36I think I can say the place of the city
01:37that I've seen in the world
01:41has changed with the current conditions
01:43and modernity.
01:45I'm in a way that I've seen in the world
01:47Designers like Becakce,
01:49show how Istanbul's luxury scene is evolving,
01:53not by leaving tradition behind,
01:55but by reinventing it.
02:03The same approach
02:04can be seen across the Sede.
02:06Along the Bosphorus Strait,
02:08the Ciaraan Palace
02:09revives Istanbul's imperial past.
02:23Walking through these halls,
02:25the elegance of the Ottoman Empire
02:27is unmistakable.
02:29Today that history still shines through
02:31in the author's design and atmosphere.
02:37Once home to Sultans,
02:39this palace has been transformed
02:41into the city's most iconic luxury hotel.
02:45Inside, its grand halls,
02:47historic hammam and waterfront suites
02:50reflect centuries of a royal heritage.
02:53And what stands out
02:55is how these elements are included today
02:57through small, careful gestures
03:00and hospitality that feels both refined
03:02and connected to the past.
03:08In Istanbul,
03:10traditions can also take the form of rituals.
03:12I've come to explore this
03:14at the Zerek Ginili Hammam
03:16where architecture and well-being
03:18come together.
03:21Originally built during the Ottoman period,
03:24hammams were not only places to bathe,
03:27but also to socialize.
03:28especially the women
03:30come here,
03:31come here,
03:32come here,
03:32come here,
03:33come here,
03:34come here,
03:34eat,
03:34eat,
03:35eat,
03:35and eat,
03:35as well-being.
03:41Moving through the different rooms,
03:43everything around me seems to create
03:46a sense of calm.
03:47Restoration work on the 16th century complex
03:50has revealed new layers of history.
04:13Here, luxury means slowing down.
04:18As night falls,
04:19I'm off to discover another side of Istanbul,
04:22its rooftops come alive
04:24and fine dining is the highlight.
04:26With the Bosphorus in the background,
04:29the dishes taste even more extraordinary.
04:35From historical rituals to contemporary design,
04:39Istanbul's approach to luxury goes far beyond appearances.
04:42It's something you feel in its craftsmanship,
04:45its traditions,
04:46and in the way the city constantly reinvents itself.
04:49Go to Shorus!
04:50Go to Shorus!
04:51Go to Shorus!
04:53Go to Shorus!
