Description
The Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah (Turkish: Pera Palas Oteli) is a historic special category hotel and museum hotel located in the Beyoğlu (Pera) district in Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in 1892 for the purpose of hosting the passengers of the Orient Express and was named after the place where it is located. It holds the title of "the oldest European hotel of Turkey".
Detective writer Agatha Christie's 1934 novel Murder on the Orient Express was allegedly written in the Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, the southern terminus of the railway. The hotel maintains Christie's room as a memorial to the author.
It is Istanbul's most iconic hotel located in the vibrant Beyoglu district for over one century, combines timeless glamour and elegance with genuine Turkish hospitality. Today Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah retains its unique heritage combined with a modern touch which epitomises cosmopolitan Istanbul.
The well appointed 115 rooms and suites retain the classic characteristics of the 19th century, with many suites inspired by the iconic guests who made this hotel their home. Afternoon tea in the opulent Kubbeli Lounge is a much-loved institution for Istanbul residents and guests alike, whilst the Orient Terrace continues to be one of Istanbul's most popular outdoor venues, and is renowned as the place to meet in the Pera district. The bijou jewel that is Patisserie de Pera is open throughout the day for the perfect Turkish coffee and indulgent cakes.
