Marriott International’s Luxury Collection has welcomed a new property to its portfolio with the addition of Sanasaryan Han, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Istanbul.
Nestled in the charming Old Town district, Sanasaryan Han is an urban sanctuary, providing a luxurious respite from the vibrant city streets. Following a meticulous restoration of the neo-classical structure built in 1895, the property honours its heritage with a curated collection of artifacts and antiques waiting to be discovered.
In the light-filled atrium, a grand chandelier takes centre stage above elegant warm furnishings and large arched mirrors. A quiet, carefully curated space housing a library of books and relics draws inspiration from the property’s storied past of supporting education foundations. Displays of handmade ceramic parchment with drawings and paintings are housed in modern glass cases alongside contemporary art installations.
The hotel also features a striking collection of monochromatic photographs by Harun Doğan exhibited throughout, capturing the timeless allure of the city.Designed by Ottoman architect Hovsep Aznavur and commissioned by philanthropist Migirdiç Sanasaryan, the hotel is conveniently located steps away from treasured landmarks such as the Spice and Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the district of Karaköy.
Soft, elegant design features flow through the 63 guestrooms, including 6 suites with sweeping views of Istanbul framed by grand Ottoman arched windows. The guestrooms are artfully designed with a distinctive palette of black and cream, complemented by accents of marble and turquoise furnishings. Handcrafted copper accessories pay homage to traditional Turkish customs.
Tea, a time-honoured tradition in the city, is celebrated at Sanasaryan Han, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Istanbul with each guestroom featuring a Turkish tea set curated by the hotel’s Tea Master, inviting guests to savour aromatic tea in traditional glass cups.
