Pera Palace Hotel

Pera Palace Hotel sits in the heart of the vibrant Beyoglu district.

The rooms and suites are discreetly elegant, with tailor-made furniture, antiques and art, alongside marble bathrooms, and many have French balconies with pretty views. Stay in the spacious and beautiful Agatha Christie and Greta Garbo rooms, dedicated to famous former guests - Agatha Christie is rumoured to have written Murder on the Orient Express here.

Pera Palace Hotel has your gourmet needs covered: Agatha is the lovely signature restaurant, serving up Turkish, French and Italian cuisine, and the Kubbeli Saloon Tea Lounge is the place to be for a delectable afternoon tea in an opulent setting, accompanied by a pianist.

The Orient Terrace is a perfect al fresco dining spot, while those with a sweet tooth should visit the Patisserie de Pera, a sugar den of French cakes that Marie Antoinette would’ve swooned at - you must also try the macaroons and the handmade chocolates. 

The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, as well as a large spa, a Jacuzzi and a Turkish hammam - ideal for some pampering in between sightseeing.  

Have a nose around the Ataturk Museum Room, which is dedicated to the famous Turkish leader who stayed here on many occasions. Many of his possessions are on display, from clothes and glasses through to medals and reading material.
