Recreation of 19th Century Ottoman Mansion, next to Sultanahmet, Istanbul.
This hotel is clad in wood, replicating a late Ottoman Style homestead. Hand painted motifs in guest rooms and public spaces recreate the traditional crafts and custom furnishings that would be typical of such a dwelling. Dark wood mouldings on doors, windows and headboards; the creamy marble of the staircases, the dramatic striped marble in many of the bathrooms, and the handmade Turkish carpets in guest rooms and hallways.
