WELCOME!

WHY COME TO ARMADA HOTEL?

You will give the best answer to this question!
How?
Basically, after settling in your room, taking a shower, and maybe resting for a while, you will most probably go on an exploration of the hotel yourself! Not counting the "Entrance", you can make this discovery in the two-storey Armada building without getting tired.
As you discover the decor elements of the Armada Hotel, which bear traces and clues from the urban and living culture of Istanbul at the end of the 19th century, as well as some stylised and specially designed objects and furnishings, you will not only be entertained, but you will also be amused by a multicultural city like Istanbul and a multicultural city like Armada. 

You will be glad that you have come to the city hotel.
After this discovery, we recommend you to go up to the Armada Terrace, watch the Bosphorus and the Marmara Sea connected to the Islands, have a nice rest in the fresh air... Then taste the Istanbul style flavours from the delicious kitchen of the Terrace...

We bet that when you return to your city or country, you will enthusiastically recommend your friends to stay at Armada Hotel! 

Armada "Owns, Protects and Preserves" the culture of life in Istanbul!
Armada Hotel is first and foremost a "city hotel" and has been established for the accommodation of local and world travellers in Istanbul. However, it also "Adopts, Protects" the historical texture and cultural features that once made Istanbul one of the most beautiful cities in the world and "Relives" it to today's people.

What's at Armada Hotel?

"Business" or "artefact"? What about "product"?
When determining the title of this paragraph, we have deliberately avoided saying only "Works of Art". Likewise, we also refrained from saying "works of art". Because to describe it as "work", in our opinion, is like deliberately and blatantly disregarding the meaning of "work" and underestimating the material and immaterial value of the object in question.
There is another difference between the artefacts of culture and art and the antiques in the Armada Hotel, and that is that some of them were presented to the hotel either by the artist who produced them or by the previous owner. In addition, Armada's collections include not only works of art but also products/items that stand out with their cultural differences. For example, our tile stoves. Most of the tile stoves were produced abroad, usually in Europe, and their "antique" characteristics are more important. After all, that object was designed and produced to fulfil a human need such as "keeping warm", 

Now we can take a look at some of them.
