Yesilev Hotel Istanbul

Yesilev Hotel, Yesil Ev Istanbul

Until the 1950’s the Beyazit - Sultanahmet district could still boast a number of large mansions set in specious gardens. The mansion belonging to the Minister of Monopolies, Sukru Bey, managed to survive, in a dilapidated state, until the 1970’s. In 1977 this mansion was up for sale and was taken under control by the Turkish Touring and Automobile Association. The old wooden building was so far beyond repair that it was demolished and rebuilt. The nineteen rooms and layout were carefully preserved and the exterior remade as an exact replica and put into a service as the Yesil Ev in the spring of 1984.
It is furnished in the style of a 19th century winter mansion, and has a charming pool in pink porphyry in its Garden full of colorful flowers and high trees. Yesil Ev offers visitors the warm, friendly atmosphere of an old Istanbul home in one of the most breath taking historic sites in the world.
Yesil Ev has been honered by many statesmen, diplomats, artists and famous people since its opening. Among our distinguished guest are President Mitterand in 1992, with his New Year visit, J.Paul Gauthier, Rudolf Nureyev, Larry King, Prince of Belgium and Rachel Weisz.
