The Bank Hotel Istanbul is a gorgeous historic gem in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey. Located in the Karakoy neighborhood, the luxury 5-star hotel is housed inside a Neo-Renaissance bank building, constructed by Italian Architect Antoine Tedeschi in 1867. Echoing its imposing facade, the public spaces stay true to its old-world grandeur with marble columns and patterned tiles.
The Bank Hotel Istanbul presents 62 beautiful guest rooms and suites, designed by Sinan Kafadar. They revolve around a warm neutral palette, complemented by elegant classic furnishing, parquet floors, curated artwork, and soaring patterned ceilings. They also come with upscale amenities, including a Carrara marble bathroom, blackout curtains, and L’Occitane toiletries.
During the restoration, wellness facilities like a white marble Turkish hammam, a fitness center, a sauna, and steam rooms were added to the building. The hotel has also embraced sustainability practices by using solar power, recyclable materials, and glass bottles instead of plastic.
As for gastronomy, The Bank Hotel Istanbul features three dining & drinking concepts on-site. The Lobby Bar & Restaurant offers a diverse international menu, while Serica Restaurant is a moody dinner spot with sophisticated dishes. Make sure you also check out The Bank Roof Bar, which serves signature cocktails with sweeping views of the city and beyond.
