Thanks for all the replies... the FS Bosphorous does look a bit magical... and the Palace Bosphorous rooms are to die for it appears.. unfortunately they are also 1400 euros a night, so for my five night stay it's way way more than I was planning on spending... especially because I just tacked on another three days to the trip... It would be more like the comparison between a Deluxe room (at 650 euros a night) and the PH King Room at 330 euros a night (with a confirmed suite upgrade +Virtuosos benefits)
If the city of magic offer was on for October, I would jump on it in a skinny minute...
