Lampa Design Hotel
Industrial art boutique
Industrial art boutique
The twenty-room boutique operates like an art-filled studio, where guests gather in an iron-and-glass cafe and leafy patio.
What it’s good at
Notable
Restored antique gas lamps, modern industrial ironwork, and paintings by Fikret Mualla.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Thanks to thoughtful design and a modest scale — the hotel has just twenty rooms — it’s both stylish and practical, the kind of place where every detail has already been considered.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked away in Şişli, the address offers quiet side streets within easy walking distance of Nişantaşı's lively shopping avenues.
The rooms
Custom headboards display modernist paintings, and bathrooms are lined in marble with walk-in rain showers.
At the table
Lampa Lab opens onto a courtyard patio lined with terrariums by Fem Güçlütürk, serving Turkish breakfast spreads each morning.
How it began
Owner Orhan Utan named the property after his fifteen-year obsession with collecting and restoring antique gas lamps.
