Occidental The Public Hotel

Located between the historical buildings of Beyoglu and around the corner from Istiklal Street, this boutique-styled hotel, has a neo-classical, art nouveau style and consists of 52 high-ceilinged rooms centred around a large courtyard or inner garden. At the turn of the 20th century the building housed the Serbian Consulate; now it has been restored to a stylish hotel with an environmentally friendly concept. The rooms are decorated in a Retro style with SMEG 50s series mini bars, luxury imported furnishings and L'Occitane toiletries. Surrounded by cafe bars, trendy shops and entertainment venues, this hotel is in the heart of Istanbul, just 550m from Taksim Square where there are links to public transport.
