Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Çelik Palas

The most venerable of the Çekirge spa hotels has gone glam with contemporary-style rooms, Las Vegas–worthy lounge areas, and an outdoor pool deck with a stunning view of the city. The Roman-style bath fed by hot springs is a treat, and the spa area also contains massage rooms, a fitness center, sauna, and private hammams (some services extra). The hotel's best and most expensive rooms are in the historical Atatürk Palas section, where the design is more classic and formal.
