Pera Palace (Special) Hotel | ISTANBUL Turkey | Online Hotel Reservation

Originally constructed by the Compagnie des Wagons Lits et des Grands Express Europeens as a guest house for the passengers of the Orient Espress in 1892, the Pera Palas was one of the most luxurious hotels of its era. Situated in the historical and colourful district of Beyoglu and overlooking the enchanting panorama of the Golden Horn, this century old building harbors a mystical atmosphere. With its capacity of hosting business meetings up to 500, spacious dining hall ballroom, bar and patisserie, as well as its 145 rooms (273 beds), the hotel offers 24 hour service through its experience and friendly personnel. It is worth of a note that the Pera Palas is within walking distance from Taksim Square (the city center), 15 minutes drive from the major historical sights (including Hagia Aospia, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the covered Bazaar), and less than half an hours drive from the Airport. The world famous Orient Bar of the Pera Palas Hotel has once hosted spies such as Mata Hari, Cicero and Kim Philby. The preferred hotel for those who have a profound love of Istanbul, the Pera Palas also offers a wide range of drinks and late night conversation at the Orient Bar, lunch and dinner at the Pera Restaurant (based on the classical Pera Palas Cuisine), and exquisite pastry at the Patisserie de Pera.
