What a beautiful hotel with a Michelin star rating. Food was definitely high quality that's why tone star. The service and attitude of staff in restaurant was ridiculous. While eating they were trying to take away our plates. For the price paid expected a bit better service and attitude. Unless you speak Turkish do not come here as they will not respect you in any way. Very disappointed.

I love historic hotels and Netflix, which is how I found out about this hotel. My Turkish husband and I had watched "Midnight at Pera Palace" on Netflix which is set here...in the show the rooms serve as time portals and the people go back and forth in time to help save the original Turkish republic. Just for fun, I wanted to see it so we took my mother-in-law and father-in-law and figured we'd have a drink at the bar or something. Luckily we got there during tea service time and the set up looked so inviting, we decided to try it out. What a lovely time we had! All of the sandwiches and sweets were amazing; there wasn't anything we didn't enjoy. The setup was beautiful as well and there was a live pianist playing. The best part was the service....absolutely top notch from beginning to end. If you enjoy being treated well in a stunning, historic setting, this is the place for you. Unfortunately we're not staying here, so the review is just for the tea and the amazing staff. But based on that alone, five stars barely seems enough.

From the moment you enter this historic hotel you are aware of how special it is. The staff sets the bar here. Attentive and pleasant. Our twin room was perfectly appointed. Most important, the beds were very comfortable and my daughter and I slept well each evening. We started our busy day each morning on the terrace for the well appointed breakfast buffet. There are many hotels in the area and huge national chain units near the coast that I would put up against the charm and warmth of this magnificent hotel.

At the time I checked into this remarkable hotel in 2016, I had visited 67 countries, most all for business travel, enjoying the perks that came with that when possible. The Pera Palace experience I enjoyed during my 3 day stay as a guest at the Jumeirah-owned historic mid-size luxury hotel was exuberant, congenial, and immaculately organizes.

First ever elevated in turkey was installed in this hotel !

Get room 312 (corner) -very spacious, tree windows and two balcony. And what a bath tube with a view!

An opulent hotel steeped in history, Pera Palace beautifully combines tradition with luxury and is centrally located in the Beyoglu district. Agatha Christie loved this hotel so much, there is a room (#411) dedicated to her. Allegedly, it was in this room she wrote the famous, "Murder on the Orient Express." The moment you walk in to Pera Palace, you feel as though you have been transported back to the grand days of the Orient Express. It is no wonder Pera Palace was so loved by passengers who traveled on the famous train and is Still loved by so many. There is a lovely patisserie adjacent to the hotel with delicious pastries on display. Come for the afternoon high tea that is served in the tea lounge or head over to the orient bar for some drinks in the evening. You will be surrounded by sumptuous antiques, artwork, and historical books. There is a stunning mother of pearl inlaid wood bookshelf in the large saloon that displayed very rare signed copies of well known literary works. Don't forget to check out the Ataturk Museum room #101.

Fine furniture display all over the property

I have not seen a small hotel like this. It is super luxurious with that old elegance from the beginning of the century. Service is impeccable and the staff is hyper courteous. This is the hotel where Agatha Christie wrote many of her novels. Visited by Ernest Hemingway. The furniture is really antique. Artifacts and memorabilia of the hotel glorious dates are around the property in conspicuous places. Highly recommended it.

Beautiful rooms, too comfortable beds, ahh awesome sleep quality. Awesome location, best…read moreconnectivity. Their Buffet breakfast is the best I ever had at my stays. I will point out key areas: 1. booking- too much pain: My husband initially made a online booking, against his company discounts, but he did not get it and he called them , they said you have to cancel it and we will book it right away with discounted rates. while on call we cancelled the booking and as soon as we cancelled, they said no more rooms available book a room for higher tariff, we felt cheated and indeed we were, but when we circulated the email about this to their manager, we got booking confirmed in same room.... :) no more explanation required here :P 2. room service: poor, we had to call them for water, tea , toiletries, laundry several times , else they wont show up. But cleanliness is just perfect! 3. facilities: good 4. room size: decent 5. Food: excellent- Buffet breakfast was awesome, 100's of variety of high quality food for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians 6. Spa/Haman: one free conman Hamam for men/women and that too very small room, but gym was good and so was the trainer there. 7. Location : The best reason to stay here. Metro(subway), bus station, tram, are just down the hotel, the famous Istiklal street is next to hotel... all travel agents, travel and tours are just 50 meters away... Taxi and 24 * 7 food options are available nearby. Its at the heart of city! you name it and get it kind of location :) Basic difference in rooms are : view, if you want a real city then go for western side rooms and for sea view , east. Sea facing rooms are bit higher in price . I preferred Taksim square view , so I choose the western facing room.
