Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul Turkey

19th century atmosphere in the 21st century. - posted on 10/10/2004

If you are looking for a hotel that has a view of the Golden Horn with old-fashioned elegance, then I definitely recommend the Pera Palas. The hotel is large and grand and if you want to see the room where Agatha Christy wrote "Murder on the Orient Express", the elevator operator can show you the room. One feature that I loved was when you check in and give your name, the reception desk personal remembers it and greets you using it every time they see you.
