The city offers up breath-taking sights such as a beautiful skyline sprinkled with domes and minarets. Narrow cobbled streets with quaint old houses make up the old quarter where years of history awaits discovery. The city is filled with the aromatic scent of the Spice Bazaars and echoing through the streets is the sound of muezzins duelling from the minarets.
Beautifully located either side of the Bosphorus Strait the magical city of Istanbul is unlike any other city in the world. It is where East meets West as the waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara splits Istanbul between continents.
Located near the beautiful Bosphorous Strait in the heart of the exclusive Nisantasi district is the St. Regis Hotel.
To celebrate the opening of the St. Regis Hotel in Istanbul renowned Emmy award winning actor and director John Malkovich was commissioned to write and direct a short film about Istanbul and love.
