Thought to have dated from the late 18th century, this historic waterfront hotel was once the home of a Grand Vizier and began its life as a guesthouse in the 1930s. The style is a combination of modern, Ottoman and Baroque architecture. An inner courtyard is now home to the hotels cafe while the bar once used to be the stables. There is also a restaurant with views of the Bosphorus and an outdoor pool for use in the summer months. The hotel can also host seminars and meetings as well as social functions.
