Lobby Lounge With Fascinating Artworks and Exquisite High Tea

Lavinia Lounge is the beating heart of Raffles Istanbul. Located in the middle of the light-filled lobby, it is a place in constant motion – a place to meet friends over cups of fragrant coffee and sugar-dusted Turkish delight, before wandering arm-in-arm through the connected walkway to the Zorlu Center. Or, choose to linger awhile over a healthy quinoa salad and a classic club sandwich, or succulent meats fresh from the grill. As you watch the ebb and flow of your fellow guests arriving and departing through the lobby, take a moment to unwind and appreciate the incredible artworks that make Lavinia so special.

The centrepiece is French photographer Jean-Francois Rauzier’s hyper-realistic interpretation of the Dolmabahçe Palace. Some aspects, such as the vast chandelier gifted by Queen Victoria and the crystal balustrades of the grand staircase, you may recognise from your own wanderings through Beşiktaş’ most beautiful Ottoman palace. The lions, jaguars and flamingoes, however, are fanciful additions inspired by Rauzier’s own Dream of Istanbul. Other artistic highlights on show at Lavinia include Martin Dawe’s abstract bronze sculpture while the gilded, geometric patterns on the walls and ceiling are influenced by motifs from Turkey’s historic Seljuk Empire.

Lavinia Lounge becomes Istanbul’s place to be every afternoon during the decadent High Tea, an authentic experience not to be missed. Accompanied by Five O’Clock finger sandwiches, cakes, scones, and signature sweets and served with a refined selection of artisan teas and coffees.

In addition to our city famous Afternoon High-Tea, we are also offering a ” Tipsy High Tea” to amaze your eyes and taste buds…

Pan-Asian Cuisine With an Innovative Turkish Twist

At Isokyo, sleek wood-panelled floors, gossamer fabrics, tropical plants and mirrored columns set the scene for a culinary journey across Asia from Istanbul to Tokyo. In this seductive, contemporary setting, peruse a menu that features pan-Asian dishes inspired by the quarter of a century Raffles Istanbul Executive Chef has spent exploring the continent. The intense umami flavors of Japan, Thailand’s elegant balance of sweet and spicy, pickled and fermented delicacies from Korea and age-old Chinese recipes. All of these and more are showcased in exceptional style at Isokyo, and given their own unique twist with the introduction of beloved Turkish ingredients.

Our award-winning Istanbul restaurant is a place for connoisseurs to indulge in traditional flavors, and to discover and fall in love with new ones.

Each mouthful is a revelation, accompanied by the drama of dry ice and inventive plating. When you want to eat al fresco, the heated terrace with its abundant greenery and floral-patterned sofas is a sanctuary for all seasons.
