The resurgent neighbourhood of Karaköy was until the early 20th century the home of many palatial Ottoman bank headquarters before being deserted when the modern Republic was formed. One of these grand properties has been converted into a stylish modern hotel.The 63 spacious bedrooms showcase the high ceilings and parquet floors of the original framework with marble bathrooms and contemporary touches combining to great effect. Some rooms enjoy views of the Golden Horn. Bedecked in marble with a mixture of classic and modern local art, the lobby bar and Turkish-European restaurant serve fashionable locals and visitors throughout the day. Two of the original vaults from which the name is taken are still in use, including one as an impressive underground wine cellar. Also on the lower floor, the spa includes steam room, sauna and hammam (booking required) for the full Turkish experience.
