Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah

We loved our stay at the Pera Palace! We booked a triple room with 3 twin beds. This setup isn’t often seen in our past travels, but was appreciated. The hotel is in an excellent location and very quiet! A walk through a short alley across from the hotel takes you to plenty of shopping and many of the historical sites can be easily be reached by walking also. We had the hotel’s high tea one day, which is buffet style. Lots of dishes offered, but there was much more sweet than savoury offered, and it was pricey. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We stayed here for a few nights and can highly recommend this beautiful hotel. It is elegant and opulent and full of character. The rooms are spacious and well equipment. The beds a large and comfy and the shower is amazing. The staff are incredibly polite and helpful. A special mention goes to Tarik in the spa for being welcoming and helpful. The facilities are superb, we swam, had a sauna and steam room during our stay. We would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Istanbul. A stones throw from Taksim Square and a short walk over the bridge to the Asian side of the city.

Pera Palace is the hotel which you begin to miss already when you just on your way home. Our stay here was just perfect. Beautiful historical building, great location, immaculate service, but above all, amazing people who work there. Our special thanks to Akin from reception area, and Sana from Agatha restaurant - very attentive and professional. And on the whole all the staff are trying to do their best to make us, clients of the hotel, feel comfortable and safe. Çok teşekkür ederim!

Pera Palace is a living piece of history. The hotel preserves Türkiye’s first elevator — and the second oldest in Europe — beautifully maintained and still functioning. There’s a museum room dedicated to Atatürk and even the legendary Agatha Christie Suite, where guests can actually stay. The lobby is breathtaking — high ceilings, rich colors, chandeliers, and an atmosphere that feels both regal and timeless. It’s one of the most iconic hotel lobbies in Istanbul, and simply being there feels like stepping into a classic film. The staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, and a special mention goes to Evren, the manager, whose professionalism and genuine care made my stay flawless. He helped with every detail and made the experience even more memorable. I stayed in the Emperor Franz Joseph Suite — elegant, atmospheric, and full of historic charm. Pera Palace is not just a hotel; it’s a timeless journey wrapped in luxury. An unforgettable stay. Highly recommended.

Amazing hotel - excellent service from great team who really went above and beyond. History and location also fantastic.
