Hotel Kariye A
restored Ottoman mansion beside the Church of Chora
With its lovely garden,
its Ottoman architecture and its truly excellent
restaurant Kariye Hotel is a rarity in Istanbul. The tastefully
restored mansion dates back to the 19th Century and is located next
to the world famous Chora Church. Away from the
hustle of downtown Istanbul, Kariye Hotel offers peace and tranquility
whilst remaining close to the major sights.
Fine
Dining
Kariye's highly acclaimed Asitane Restaurant serves traditional Ottoman cuisine
in a contemporary setting. The menu is inspired by a document dating from 1539
of an Ottoman feast, therefore, it includes dishes rarely found elsewhere. It
has become increasingly popular with tourists and Istanbulites alike.
Accommodation
The
rooms here are all en suite and present classical Ottoman decor
in a simple, light and refreshing way.
Just
next door to the hotel is the
11th century Chora Church with some of the best Byzantine
frescoes and mosaics in the world. See also....
