About JW Marriott Istanbul Bosphorus

• The 35-metre atrium was engineered around the Veli Alemdar Han's existing Ottoman shell rather than replacing it.
• Eight dining concepts in 130 rooms give the house one of the highest restaurant-to-room ratios of any JW Marriott.
• Galataport revived a Bosphorus quay whose Genoese trading colonies date to the 13th century: one of Europe's oldest continuously commercial waterfronts.

History

JW Marriott Istanbul Bosphorus anchors the Galataport waterfront regeneration in Karaköy, incorporating the restored 180-year-old Veli Alemdar Han, a historic Ottoman trading house, within its structure, with a 35-metre skylit atrium rising through the heart of the building.

The setting

JW Marriott Istanbul Bosphorus anchors Kemankeş Caddesi in Karaköy, the Beyoğlu quarter whose Genoese merchants built fortified trading colonies here in the 13th century and whose 19th-century banking houses along adjacent Bankalar Caddesi served as the Ottoman Empire's financial spine. The Galataport waterfront regeneration has restored this historic Bosphorus quay to cosmopolitan prominence, with the medieval Galata Tower 13 minutes on foot and the Egyptian Bazaar 18 minutes away. A cluster of landmark luxury hotels lines this same shoreline, affirming the micro-area as the city's premier waterfront hospitality enclave. 39 km from Istanbul Airport.
