The original, neoclassical architectural elements of this historical structure were preserved in a way that celebrates history yet transforms it with blended brick and travertine stone.

The restoration of this 1900s-era building was carried out meticulously, bringing new life to the doors and windows and showcasing the façade’s neoclassical elements, which have been aesthetically enhanced by blended brick. The ceilings of the lobby and many rooms feature handcrafted motifs, adding unique character to this magnificent structure.

Stressing Istanbul’s historical heritage, the designers enable guests to experience the culture-rich Pera area of Istanbul through the lens of history.

Reflecting the texture of the neighborhood, the hotel features spacious, high ceilings; original stone walls; and period-specific details that offer guests an authentic Beyoğlu experience. Here, the elegant use of warm pastel tones, marble, tile mosaics, and decorative ceramic surfaces significantly contribute to the preservation efforts and the feel of this historic structure. Additionally, the hotel hosts various artworks, transforming its walls into an exhibition space.
