What makes a perfect hotel? It’s not just its location or facilities, it’s the way the hotel acknowledges its location and portrays it in its own creative and emblematic style. That’s why, for me, Occidental the Public **** proves the perfect hotel, because of how it echoes the iconic culture of Istanbul.
The historic building of Occidental the Public **** dates back to the 1890s and therefore adopts a rather sophisticated façade. Over the years nevertheless it has incorporated modernity within this traditional framework; with cutting-edge décor and retro furniture creating a seamless blend between the old and the new. This is exactly what Istanbul’s position between Europe and Asia creates, as the meeting place for the traditional East and the modern West. Therefore, during your stay in this fabulous hotel, guests can admire how perfectly it reflects its location through this melange of tradition and modernity: its architecture representing the East and its décor representing the West!
Of course, this isn’t the only reason why Occidental the Public **** is the ideal hotel for experiencing the wonders of Istanbul. This establishment knows how to look after its guests… from a delicious breakfast buffet to a bike hire service, it’s aware of how to enhance a getaway.
It’s also aware of how to provide luxury and upmost comfort - notably through the characterful guestrooms with quaint fireclay bricks and grey stone walls, which somehow complement the modern furnishings perfectly. The large double bed invites you to unwind after a busy day of exploring, but the icing on the cake is the down/feather pillows that will send you into a peaceful slumber.
Give yourself the perfect opportunity to properly discover Istanbul whilst sojourning in style at Occidental the Public **** - enjoying its fine dining, gorgeous guestrooms, original design and friendly staff.
