The House Hotel Galatasaray, which is the first of The House Hotels, opened in April 2010 in the renovated historical Zenovitch Apartments located in Çukurcuma which is a neighbourhood famous for its antique shops.
Zenovitch Apartments, or Appartements Zenovitch (originally French), was built in 1880 by Milo Zenovitch who was doing business in merchant shipping industry. Milo Zenovitch and his family came from Montenegro (Serbia) and settled in Istanbul when foreigners were allowed to settle here during the Tanzimat (reorganization) period in the Ottoman State. The family also dealt with shipping business here. The smaller building on the left of the apartments was originally intended for the family themselves to live in whereas the Zenovitch Apartments were rented out for income. The apartments were rented by many people as well as the family members who lived in these apartments for generations. Later on, some of the family members resettled in France while the rest stayed in Istanbul.
Zenovitch Apartments were abandoned for some time until the owners of The House Cafes included the building in the “hotel projects” and The House Hotel project by Autoban gave the building a new identity. The project lasted a very long time and could be finished in 2 years as the original structure was maintained with a very careful and detailed work. The architectural character of the building reflects its original structure as much as possible and it was designed with a modern perspective where necessary but lacking parts were also added. The House Hotel Galatasaray creates a modern atmosphere in Beyoğlu with its wood parquet floors, the hexagonal perforated ceiling panels reflected in mirrors and the specially furnished indoors.
The hotel offers boutique hotel qualifications with its 20 rooms in total, 2 of which are penthouse, a historical Galata Tower view and a lounge bar with a fireplace which forms a winter garden atmosphere. Having Mini, Deluxe, Junior, Executive Suite and Penthouse Suite rooms ranging from 28m2 to 45 m2 which include comfortable armchairs, coffee tables, desks, a plasma TV with local and international channels to choose from, Italian marble use in the bedrooms and bathrooms, organic bathroom relaxing options and complementary espresso and gourmet tea service by excellent “butler” hotel service, The House Hotel Galatasaray offers its guests extraordinary opportunities of taking historical walks around the old neighbourhood of Pera, Galatasaray, Çukurcuma and Tünel as well as shopping tours with a special guide.
The House Hotel Galatasaray has a very rich breakfast menu while the lunchtime and evening dinners consist of simple but carefully prepared savours. The House Hotel Galatasaray is at a walking distance from the famous restaurants in Beyoğlu and is conveniently located for both tourism and business-related accommodation.
