YEŞİL EV |
Until the
1950’s the Beyazıt - Sultanahmet district could
still boast a number of large mansions set in specious
gardens. The mansion belonging to the Minister
of Monopolies, Şükrü Bey, managed to survive, in
a dilapidated state, until the 1970’s. In 1977
this mansion was up for sale and was taken under
control by the Turkish Touring and Automobile Association.
The old wooden building was so far beyond repair
that it was demolished and rebuilt. The nineteen
rooms and layout were carefully preserved and the
exterior remade as an exact replica and put into
a service as the Yesil Ev in the spring of 1984.
This unique mansion very quickly attained a world-wide reputation and was awarded
in 1985 the medal for the year by “Europa Nostra”. Yesil Ev had, indeed, introduced
the concept of true comfort and hygiene to this “derelict” district and opened
a new epoch in Turkish tourism by combining modern standards with historical
style.
It is furnished in the style of a 19th century winter mansion, and has a charming
pool in pink porphyry in its Garden full of colorful flowers and high trees.
Yesil Ev offers visitors the warm, friendly atmosphere of an old Istanbul home
in one of the most breath taking historic sites in the world.
The 19 total rooms which are furnished in the style of a 19th century winter
mansion have shower/wc, central heating, air-condition, direct dial telephone,
minibar, free tea/coffee tray and safety box. Hair dryer can be requested at
the reception. 24 hours room service, power generator and fire alarm system are
also available. With a turkish bath and its special decoration the Pasha Room
of Yesil Ev has a world – wide reputation
The indoor restaurant in the lobby with its 19yy mansion style decoration and
capacity of 80 people, serves the guests during the winter time.
In the Garden full of colorful flowers, high trees and a charming pool in pink
porphyry, the very special dishes are served to the guests in three seasons of
the year. And during the winter time the Sera Restaurant, with the different
kinds of plants and colorful lambs in it, serves the guests.
