Pera Palace Hotel Jumeirah

I would like to thank Mr. Aşkın for his cocktail recommendation; the service and everything else were excellent. Also, Mr. Efe’s attentiveness was incredible. Greetings from Austria.

Fabulous hotel! Beautiful and staff were wonderful. Esma was especially helpful with great recommendations for restaurants and sites to see off the tourist track. Highly recommend!

After years of reading about the history of this phenomenal place, we finally got to go this summer. I continue to be speechless over the hospitality of the Turkish people in general, but the kindness with which the wonderful staff at Pera Palace attended to us was nothing short of exemplary. From the housekeeping staff to the bartenders, and all the employees handling guest relations, it is truly the people that made our stay memorable. I want to thank Esma, who took us for an hour long tour when I told her it was my dream to come and stay here ever since I first read the Charles King book about the hotel. She even gifted me a copy of the Turkish translation of the book, and waited patiently as we went about marvelling at everything. Esma is one of the kindest people I've met in this business, and her ability to reciprocate curiosity about cultures outside of the ones more familiar to her (we are from India) is worth celebrating. The food was nice, the cocktails spectacular, but it truly is the hospitality that has ensured everytime I am in Istanbul, I will try my hardest to stay here. I hope I get to keep coming back over and over, if only to meet the excellent people who look after such a legendary place.

Everything was exceptional .Old and luxurious hotel. The staffs were very polite and helpful , the breakfast buffet was huge , variable and delicious .Highly recommended ❤️❤️

My wife and totally enjoyed our stay at this magnificent hotel. Many have commented on the outstanding premises and staff, and I would like to comment on the outstanding breakfast buffet and eggs to order. Always fresh and interesting (including a raw honeycomb!). All the staff were polite and professional and Betul (spelling?) was particularly helpful.
