The Public Hotel  

In the pulse of central Istanbul, tucked between historic Beyoglu and famed Istiklal Avenue. This boutique hotel sits about 550 m from Taksim Square and within easy walking distance of Galata Tower, Galataport and the cultural spots around the Golden Horn. Atatürk Airport is roughly 40 km away.

Housed in a restored neo-classical/art nouveau building that once served as a consulate, the hotel mixes historic bones with a boutique, eco-friendly vibe. Fifty-two high‑ceilinged rooms ring a large inner courtyard garden. Rooms lean retro—vintage 50s‑style minibars, imported furnishings, bathrobes and slippers—with modern touches like iPod docks, LED TVs, laptop safes and rainfall showers.

Sip cocktails at one of two bars or chill in the café and courtyard. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected. On-site perks include a library, concierge, 24-hour room service, parking and a tour desk; airport shuttle service is available for a surcharge. Expect lift access and practical concierge services like laundry and car rental assistance.

A 24-hour business center and conference hall support meetings and events. Fast wired and wireless internet and express check-in help keep schedules tight.

Dine at 1901 Cafe and Bistro, which serves international cuisine, or grab coffee and light bites in the on-site café. Full breakfasts are offered daily (fee applies), and 24-hour room service keeps late nights covered. Istiklal Avenue’s restaurants and street food are steps away.
