First opened in 1892, Pera Palace Hotel was originally created for Orient Express clientele and is recognised as the first international hotel in Turkey. In 2010, the hotel reopened its doors after a three year major refurbishment project to offer guests a combination of heritage with the latest technology. Located in the heart of the city in the bohemian Pera district, only 30-40 minutes from Ataturk International Airport, the hotel is within walking distance of the city’s museums, galleries and nightlife and is only 5km from the old town and 1.5km from the harbour.

During the hotel’s long history it has played host to many iconic figures including King Edward VIII, Queen Elizabeth II, Ernest Hemingway, Greta Garbo, Ataturk, the founder and leader of Turkey, as well as Agatha Christie who took inspiration for her famous novel “Murder on the Orient Express” from her time at the hotel.

The hotel boasts superb amenities including:

• Restaurant Agatha, named after Agatha Christie pays tribute to the three major stops on the former Orient Express: Paris, Venice and İstanbul, serving a combination of French, Italian and Turkish cuisine
• Orient Bar, a longstanding meeting point for the city’s high society that serves a wide range of wines, spirits and cocktails
• Kubbeli Saloon, an exquisite tea lounge that serves traditional English afternoon tea daily and offers live piano entertainment
• The nostalgic Patisserie de Pera, a classic venue that is popular for its creative pastries
• The 380sqm PERA Spa with Turkish Hammam, 3 private treatment rooms, jet streamed indoor pool, steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi and fitness centre
• Meeting rooms for up to 340 and cocktail receptions for up to 540
