This hotel, housed in a historic building in Istanbul's Old City, became even more of a landmark after being featured in '007: Skyfall'.
🌟 **Architectural Highlights:**
Originally the headquarters of the Deutsche Orientbank, built in 1912, it underwent renovation and officially opened in July 2021.
It meticulously preserves antique structures such as the original marble spiral staircase, a century-old wooden revolving door, the vault, and a copper dome.
The former bank vault in the basement has been transformed into a bar.
🌟 **Stunning Views from the Rooftop Dome Terrace:**
Enjoy unobstructed 360° panoramic views of the Old City, overlooking the Süleymaniye Mosque and the Golden Horn. It's an exceptional spot for sunset photography!
🌟 **Staff Service:**
Throughout our stay, the staff here was the most enthusiastic and friendly we encountered. The gentleman who checked us in had a wonderfully warm smile.
The breakfast was abundant, with various options available. We ordered the two-person Turkish breakfast.
🌟 **Location:**
Situated in the heart of the Old City, it's within walking distance of all major attractions and ferry terminals, with a plethora of dining options nearby.
Aside from the slightly small room, an unremarkable window view, and having to drag luggage about a hundred meters to the main street when taking a taxi, it was otherwise flawless!
