Built in 1892 in the famous 'Orient-Express' style by the Levantine family of the Glavani, it remains one of the last few witnesses to that glamorous time in turn-of-the-century Istanbul. During this time, Old Beyoglu became the 'modern' part of the city, modeled closely after Paris and other European cities. From some of its 54 rooms, visitors can contemplate breathtaking views of Old Istanbul and its famous Golden Horn, all while enjoying the best of modern-day comforts and amenities.

   At the beginning of the last century, the Grand Hotel de Londres was one of the most renowned palace hotels of its kind in Old Pera/Beyoglu. You will, no doubt, tell us that the furniture looks somewhat shabby and worn out - no wonder, it all dates back to the beginning of our century and its pieces are not fakes - they are all genuine originals. This hotel comes from that very prestigious time in history of high fashion around the last turn of the century.
