The House Hotel, Istanbul
Today’s Hotel Pick FROM THE RIGHT BANK is so beautifully designed I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It’s The House Hotel in Istanbul which is housed in a newly renovated four-story mansion built in the 1890′s.
Moldings galore, parquet floors, exposed beams, beautiful tile . . . when you have all that to work with, you’ve already got a head start but the elegant neutral decor is equally exquisite.
First, can we talk about that chandelier? It’s killing me. They’ve used it throughout the hotel and I want it. Very badly.
Look how it hangs from the ceiling! I can’t even.
Then there are the subdued colors: greige-y, taupe-y loveliness against bright white walls.
Perfectly tailored furniture,
plus my beloved Chesterfields and some marble top sideboards and tables (in gray) to boot.
Okay, I’m off to figure out where I can get one of these chandeliers. (Give me a holler if you have any tips.) Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!

These images are beautiful. I’ve been wanting to take a trip. I’m just trying to convince the husband, while he checks the bank account.

This is literally one of the most gorgeous places I have ever seen- the mouldings and floors are literally making me heart skip a beat and that chadelier…good night- if you figure out what it is, please post the info- I’d love love love to have one in my new kitchen- it’s probably ridiculously expensive but I’d be interested to see either way. Thanks for sharing this- so gorgeous.
Whoa. I’m enjoying every room.

Amazing! I love all the moulding. And the honeycomb pattern in the ceiling and floors of the corridors. And, those public areas look so cozy yet still so chic! Would love to stay here.

This place is THE STUFF. Could this chandelier be the one for you, Ally????
Istanbul…want to go and cry in the Hagia Sophia, preferably alone and not with hordes of tourists. And then I’ll go back for thoughtful repose in my beautiful white hotel room.

I love the hotels picks you make. From the photos they look like a home, and that’s what a hotel should do make you feel like home for a very enjoyable stay in whatever country your in.

Quite posh. I love how the ceiling in the halway reflects the shapes of the floor tile.
