Istambul Turkey

The luxurious Pera Palace Hotel, the oldest European hotel in Istanbul, was built in the 19th century to host passengers traveling east on the famous Orient Express. Its rooms have housed such prominent figures as Ernest Hemingway, King Edward VII of England, Alfred Hitchcock, and Jackie Kennedy.

Established in 1890, Pera Palace was Istanbul's first luxury hotel. It was built to cater to the needs of guests who traveled on the Orient Express railway between Paris and Istanbul. Among its regulars was renowned British crime novelist Agatha Christie, who always stayed in Room 411.

The hotel was the first building in the Ottoman Empire to be powered by electricity, other than the imperial palaces.

One of the hotel's first owners was the Ottoman Armenian Esayan family.
