In keeping with Travel + Leisure India & SA's philosophy of going places with people, we check into the iconic Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul to shoot with Bollywood's favorite A-List star, Sara Ali Khan. The former Ottoman palace is now a part of the Kempinski Hotels and is located on the European side of the Bosphorus, between the Besiktas and Ortaköy districts in Istanbul. The hotel also boasts one of the most expensive suites in the world-the Sultan Suite-that spans close to 464 square metres. On a balmy afternoon, I sit in the suite with our cover star, Sara Ali Khan, as she talks about her penchant for Turkey, the importance of conscious travel, and her exciting travel calendar for the year.
EXCERPTS FROM THE INTERVIEW:
