Official

Located in the heart of Istanbul's vibrant Beyoğlu district for over a century, the iconic Pera Palace Hotel epitomizes timeless elegance. This luxurious property boasts a unique heritage blended with modern touches, symbolizing Istanbul's renowned cosmopolitan culture. Overlooking the magnificent Golden Horn and the historic old city, and within walking distance of the Bosphorus, Galata Tower, and the famed Istiklal shopping street, the Pera Palace Hotel commands a prime location. The 115 well-appointed rooms and suites retain classic 19th-century characteristics, with many inspired by iconic guests who once called this hotel home. Afternoon tea in the opulent Kubbeli Lounge is a beloved tradition for both Istanbul residents and visitors, while the Orient Terrace remains one of the city's most popular outdoor venues, a renowned meeting place in the Pera district. The bijou Patisserie de Pera offers the perfect Turkish coffee and indulgent cakes throughout the day. For an ideal escape from the city's hustle and bustle, the calming spa provides guests with a traditional Turkish Hammam experience, along with an indoor pool, gym, sauna, and steam rooms. Having hosted luminaries such as Agatha Christie, Ernest Hemingway, Greta Garbo, Mata Hari, and Sarah Bernhardt, the Pera Palace Hotel was also frequented by Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey. In 1981, his original room was restored and nationally recognized as a unique historical feature, earning the hotel its status as Istanbul's only museum hotel.

Ali Ocakbaşı Karaköy

A narrow street leads you to this somewhat hidden gem. The waterside setting is a draw in itself, but the main attractions are the barbecue and tandoori oven. With a sure hand, the chefs flame-grill aubergine, for example, and then season it with chilli and five-spice powder. Their marinated lamb and beef are cooked to juicy perfection, generously spiced and served with lavash bread that has been briefly crisped up on the barbecue. The various mezze, salads and desserts such as halva stay true to tradition. And for this price point, the value is fantastic!
