History
Bosphorus Palace Hotel was first the site of the recidence of the
Grand Vizier of the Sultan Selim III(1789-1807), Damat Melek Mehmet Pasa. In
1890 a new bulding, built on this spot by the architect A.Vallauary, was
purchased by Ismail Hakki Pasa. Who was the Deputy of Debre (in todays Albania)
under Sultan Abdulhamit (1876-1909).Set in the a 1468 m² garden, the bulding
itself is 300 m² at base. The bulding has two stories and is symetric in design
with two wings. In its original form the residence consisted of 22 rooms with
the harem, or the women's quarters, facing the garden and the selamlik, or men
and public rooms facing the sea. Although the bulding was completely
burned by fire in 1983, it was reconstruced according to its orginal design
during the years 1993-1996 by using previous drawings and photograpies. The
reconstruction and interior works were performed by the company, Yali Tourism
Investments and Management Inc., with the approval and supervision of the
