Pera Palace Hotel

This is probably my favorite hotel in the world. I've stayed here several times before – and surprisingly, this time both concierges recognized me and knew me by name. Such a small detail, but it really defines a great hotel that cares. All the rest is just perfect: historical building in the best possible location, outstanding service, and daily afternoon tea with live piano at the lobby bar – probably the best I've had in the entire world.

Excellent location Responsiveness Cleanness Good food

During my four-night stay in Alfred's room at the Pera Palace Hotel, I was transported on a captivating journey through time. The hotel's iconic and historical ambiance immersed me in a dream-like atmosphere of the past. The breathtaking view from the two balconies left me mesmerized, as I watched boats glide by and seagulls soar above, all while savoring a glass of prosecco. The room itself embodied the essence of Alfred Hitchcock, with its elegant and historically furnished yet incredibly comfortable design. The traditional marble-styled bathroom evoked the sensation of bathing in my own private hammam. Every aspect of the room was exceptional. Stepping into the tea room, with its six domes overhead, I felt as though I had entered an orientalist world, while a few steps to the right transported me to the neoclassical era. I spent hours lost in the pages of books from the library, relishing the tranquil atmosphere. The staff were not only informative about the hotel's history but also consistently helpful and friendly. Without a doubt, I will choose to stay at the Pera Palace again when I next visit Istanbul.

It was our first time visiting Istanbul and the experience at Pera Palace made it so enjoyable. The hotel is very stylish, beautiful and well-maintained. The French-Ottoman design makes it really special. - location - excellent - room - clean, spacious with comfy bed. Furniture looked almost brand-new - staff - super kind and attentive - breakfast - high-quality, just the right selection of things, fresh and very delicious. The chef was so kind to make for us soft-boiled eggs on demand We didn't have chance to visit the Attaturk museum but will do next time. Overall highly recommended! Teşekkür ederim guys!! :)

Charming hotel which has all what you need for a pleasant stay. Located in the modern European part of Istanbul nearby lively area with restaurants. Good room service. I reserved a spa session (red carpet massage) which was good. In general, the hotel made you feel as if you where at Agatha Christie’s time, the decoration, the different areas, the rooms remain untouchable.
