A private contemporary art collection defines the property, creating a playful hotel that feels like a collector's salon.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The public spaces are full of contemporary art and stylish furniture, and the design approach is nothing if not eclectic.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Taksim Square is five minutes away on foot, and downhill streets lead straight to the Bosphorus waterfront.
The rooms
Bedrooms adopt a calmer palette with vivid accents, and many look straight out over the Bosphorus.
At the table
Breakfast tables look out over ferry traffic on the Bosphorus. At night, the rooftop restaurant glows under fringed lanterns.
How it began
MV Holding overhauled the 2013 building in 2020, turning it into a showcase for its private art collection.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
