The Story of the Building

Same walls since 1875; a new idea of staying.

Raised among Galata's brick arches, high ceilings and cast-iron details, this building has witnessed the neighbourhood's daily life for a century and a half. Today it has been converted into serviced suites with its original fabric preserved.

The intention is not theatrical luxury; it is well-proportioned space, a quiet palette and practical comfort that simply works. The elevator, digital door access and Atelier Rebul amenities are modern comforts within this historic apartment building.

Location

In the heart of Galata.

Selvese Suites is set within one of Istanbul's most walkable and characterful districts. From here, the city unfolds through narrow historic streets, layered facades, cafés, galleries and the rhythm of Beyoğlu.

For arrival, guests usually choose either a direct taxi or a public transport route ending at Şişhane Metro, followed by a short walk into Galata.

I.

Start just outside

Begin with breakfast or coffee around Galata before the streets fully fill up; the area is at its calmest early in the day.

II.

Move through the historic core

From Kamondo Stairs to the tower area, the district reveals itself best on foot, through facades, corners and passageways.

III.

Let Beyoğlu open up later

Use Istiklal and Şişhane as extensions of the day, then return to a quieter suite rhythm as the city slows down.
