Hot on the heels of the inaugural property in Waikiki, EDITION Istanbul is a study in glistening luxury, inspired by both the ottoman and byzantine empires. Starting with a tall, domed lobby with mosaicked walls and ceilings, step right into the hotel’s contemporary twists on an imperial past. All 77 lofts in the 13-story tower are done up with custom wood furnishings and a regal backdrop of bronze and white-gold tones. Inside, spy traditional hanging lamps, local silks and marble extracted from nearby ancient islands.  Seeking a little modernity on your trip? Unwind in the 20,000-square-foot ESPA spa, indulge at the exotic gold bar, or fuel up with the glitterati at Cipriani Restaurant. There’s no need to go cold turkey.
