00:03Welcome to Istanbul. We are here to explore all things luxury. In this iconic Turkish city,
00:10true sophistication stands out because it's rooted in culture. And what better place to
00:15start with Nishantash, one of the city's most elegant neighbors. Istanbul struggles Europe and Asia,
00:28and each side has its own unique charm. I'm starting my visit on the European side,
00:35and Nishantash is the place to be for the fashionable crowd. But there's more to the
00:43city, the modern luxury. Jurla Sevan Becakce draws on Istanbul's rich heritage in his work.
00:51Known as the King of Rings, his creations blend Ottoman and Eastern Roman influences
00:56through exceptional craftsmanship. Each piece is one of a kind, often taking months to create.
01:03His rare approach is recognized at the highest level of fine jewelry.
01:22Each of his creations tells a story, and wearing one of them feels like a rare privilege.
01:28The place of all my life, all my life, all my life, all my life, all my life, all my
01:34life, all my life, all my life.
01:47Designers like Becakce show how Istanbul's luxury scene is evolving, not by leaving tradition behind but by reinventing it.
02:03The same approach can be seen across the Sede. Along the Bosphorus Strait, the Cerran Palace revives Istanbul's imperial past.
02:23Walking through these halls, the elegance of the Ottoman Empire
02:27is unmistakable today that history still shines through in the hotel's design and atmosphere.
02:37Once home to sultans, this palace has been transformed into the city's most iconic luxury hotel.
02:45Inside its grand halls, historic hammam and waterfront suites reflect centuries of a royal heritage.
02:53And what stands out is how these elements are included today through small, careful gestures
03:00and hospitality that feels both refined and connected to the past.
03:08In Istanbul, traditions can also take the form of rituals.
03:12I've come to explore this at the Zeyrek Genili Hammam, where architecture and well-being come together.
03:21Originally built during the Ottoman period, hammams were not only places to bathe, but also to socialize.
03:28Especially women, who come here, and come here, and eat, and eat, and at the same time,
03:36and at the same time, they are aware that they are safe and clean and clean and clean.
03:41Moving through the different rooms, everything around me seems to create a sense of calm.
03:48Restoration work on the 16th century complex has revealed new layers of history.
03:53Satın alınıp 13 yıl süren restorasyon sürecinde çıkan arkeolojik buluntuların yer aldığı müzemiz,
04:00çağdaş sanat sergilerine yer vermiş olduğumuz sarnıcımız ve çifte hamam dediğimiz gerek kadınların gerekse erkeklerin eş zamanlı olarak yıkanabildikleri iki
04:12hamamdan oluşuyor.
04:14Here, luxury means slowing down.
04:17As night falls, I'm off to discover another side of Istanbul, its rooftops come alive and fine dining is the
04:26highlight.
04:26With the Bosphorus in the background, the dishes taste even more extraordinary.
04:36From historical rituals to contemporary design, Istanbul's approach to luxury goes far beyond appearances.
04:43It's something you feel in its craftsmanship, its traditions and in the way the city constantly reinvents itself.
