Where the Global Luxury Travel
Community Comes Together
A closed gathering for the brands and decision-makers who shape how the world travels. On the water where two continents meet, in a room with a strict guest count.
Curated people.
Meaningful connections.
Traditional travel fairs measure success by floor space. Bosphorus Luxe Circle measures it by the quality of the room. The guest count is fixed, every attendee is accredited, and every meeting is scheduled before anyone lands in İstanbul.
Five arcs, one circle
The meeting of global buyers & European excellence
Where luxury travel markets meet Europe. Across the two full business days of the three-day programme, 100 hosted buyers and 60 luxury hotels sit down to a schedule planned to the minute.
The Circle opens at Soho House İstanbul and closes with the gala dinner and awards evening at The Peninsula İstanbul.
Hosted buyers
Accredited buyers from the CIS, GCC and UK markets.
European & Türkiye luxury hotels
Upper-segment hotel and resort brands from Europe and Türkiye, at the table.
A three-day programme · 22 – 25 March 2027
Three days connecting global luxury travel markets with Europe: arrival and opening night, then two full business days and a gala on the Bosphorus.
◦ 25 March 2027, Thursday — departures and optional city programme.
The world stage of elegance
At the crossroads of Europe and Asia, İstanbul offers a timeless stage of history, art and gastronomy. From the Bosphorus to the hidden courtyards of the old city, every scene opens onto rare depth.
Here the city is not a backdrop; it is part of the meeting itself. Guests leave İstanbul not as a destination, but as an experience.
Rixos Tersane Event Hall
Bosphorus Luxe Circle brings together luxury travel professionals in an exclusive networking and business platform at one of İstanbul's most iconic venues. Every B2B meeting takes place in a single hall, in one uninterrupted flow.
Set on the historic shores of the Golden Horn, Rixos Tersane rises within a meticulously restored Ottoman shipyard. Across the water lies the storied skyline of old Constantinople, creating a dialogue between past and present. Preserving its authentic architecture while embracing contemporary design, this landmark embodies the very spirit of Bosphorus Luxe Circle.

on the Bosphorus
Bosphorus Luxe Circle is more than an event: a private world for the visionaries, creators and tastemakers who redefine how the world travels and connects.
The new meeting point
for luxury travel
On waters where two continents meet and empires once passed, a new circle of luxury is taking shape. Here the İstanbul skyline becomes a stage for bold ideas and rare collaborations.
Expect meaningful encounters with global leaders, insider showcases of the world's most coveted destinations, and conversations that set tomorrow's luxury trends today.

No hierarchy of floor space. Everyone meets on the same terms.
The people behind it
At the heart of Bosphorus Luxe Circle stand the Circle Architects: visionary minds shaping a world-class gathering where İstanbul itself becomes the masterpiece.
From the domes of Hagia Sophia to the hidden courtyards of the old bazaars, cultural legacy blends with contemporary design and gastronomy into a new language of gathering.
Guided by this spirit, the Circle Architects bring heritage and modernity together, revealing İstanbul not as a destination, but as an experience of rare depth and beauty.
Circle Architect is also the first partnership tier — organisations that help build the Circle sit at the table that shapes it.
