Ecole St Pierre Hotel  

In Galata, Istanbul — a stone's throw from Galata Tower and minutes from Şişhane and Galata Bridge. A pet-friendly boutique stay housed in the former Pierre Primary School, just off the city center and perfect for exploring on foot.

Set inside a historic French-era school and designed with respect for its heritage, the hotel showcases rare 13th-century Genoese walls and the work of architect Gaspare Fossati. Expect a multicultural, old-meets-new vibe with preserved stone features, a quiet garden courtyard, and intimate spaces that nod to the building's monastic past.

Standout perks include the atmospheric courtyard anchored by ancient Galata walls, pet-friendly rooms, on-site dining, and concierge service. Practical touches like Wi-Fi, laundry, transfer service and an elevator keep stays easy and comfortable.

Wi-Fi is available to keep you connected. The property also offers elevator access, transfer arrangements and secure safe-deposit box service for convenience.

IL CORTILE Ristorante & Pizzeria sits in the courtyard, enclosing the ancient walls and serving Italian fare and pizzas in a garden-like setting — a tasty, historic backdrop for meals near Galata Tower.
