Typical service standard

Room sizes, layouts and amenities vary between properties, with architectural details, materials and interior design often forming an important part of the experience. Breakfast, dining and other services reflect each hotel's individual approach, so guests should not expect identical facilities or service levels across the collection. In Türkiye, the options are particularly associated with city stays that have a strong architectural character. Rates generally fall within the upper-upscale category, making the collection well suited to couples and city travellers who value design, atmosphere and individuality over standardised services.

Casa Foscolo Hotel, Istanbul, a Member of Design Hotels

Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★★

An 18-room boutique hotel opened in October 2024 inside a restored 1890s apartment-hotel building on a side street in Asmalımescit, Beyoğlu, two minutes on foot from Şişhane metro and the Tünel funicular. Most rooms have kitchenettes and the building doubles as a contemporary art space, but street-facing rooms can pick up late-night bar noise and early-morning refuse collection, and breakfast is charged separately on many rates.
