The legendary Pera Palace Hotel

The legendary Pera Palace Hotel built in the 19th century for the use of Orient Express passengers, was renovated and re-opened in 2011

The preservation and restoration project that reflects the historical and cultural significance of the hotel targets to bring back its old glory of the times when it was one of the most luxurious hotels in Istanbul. Many national and international statesmen such as M. Kemal Ataturk Ismet inonii King Edward VIII and internationally acclaimed artists like Agatha Christie. Ernest Hemingway and Greta Garbo are known to have favoured Pera Palace repeatedly. With the renovation the hotel aimed at becoming once more one of the most popular destinations both for international tourists and locals. Therefore, all rooms and public areas were refurbished using only products with the best quality and appeal. The wine cellar was entrusted to FWC. Diligent design and expert construction of the wine cellar are evident in the smallest details such as the copper engraving in the floor of Hemingway's remarkable words about wine: -Aline is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than. possibly any other purely sensory thing."
