This design-forward boutique hotel transforms five restored merchant storehouses within Istanbul's historic Ottoman naval shipyards into one of the city's most compelling waterfront stays.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the Golden Horn in the revitalized Tersane district, the waterfront location puts the lively cultural quarters of Beyoğlu within easy reach.
The rooms
Arched windows and exposed stone masonry frame views of the water, complemented by handwoven silk rugs and carved double marble sinks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool rests under glass cathedral ceilings, and an Olympic-sized lap pool stretches across the waterfront grounds.
The spa
Twelve treatment suites sit across three floors of exposed stone, offering restorative bodywork and high-tech longevity therapies.
The gym and sauna
The fitness center features Pilates reformers under vaulted wood ceilings, alongside a glass-fronted sauna lined with salt bricks.
Restaurant
Little House
Tables sit beneath mature olive trees inside a freestanding timber structure, serving wood-fired Mediterranean dishes and Turkish cheeses.
At the table
Evenings bring red velvet cabaret dinners at Mondaine de Pariso and sunset cocktails beneath pink Murano glass chandeliers.
How it began
Restored merchant storehouses from the historic Ottoman naval shipyards were transformed into a waterfront sanctuary along the Golden Horn.
