Sure, luxury hotels far from the center of Istanbul—and its sights, activities, shoping, etc.—usually have nice swimming pools.
But what about hotels right in the city center?
Swimming pools close to the center of Istanbul are less common, but they’re there. Many are indoor pools in which you can swim year-round. Some have saunas, whirlpool baths, hamams, spas, health clubs and more.
