The hotel’s unique concept provides a new icon for the vibrant Mecidiyeköy district, where eclectic neighbourhood bazaars and colourful side streets meet modern shopping centres with contemporary architecture and design.
Set on the site of the 1930’s Robert Mallet Stevens-designed Art Deco liquor factory, Fairmont Quasar blends a sense of urban culture and industrial flair with the city’s heritage of long-held customs and traditions.
Encapsulating the vitality of this captivating location, the hotel offers glamour and luxury within touching distance of Istanbul’s most famous cultural landmarks – Taksim Square, the Grand Bazaar and the Blue Mosque. Access from Istanbul’s two airports is easy and efficient, while guests travelling on a tight schedule have access to a private helipad.
Commenting on the luxury hotel company’s first property in Turkey, Chris Cahill, CEO, AccorHotels Luxury Brands said: “Fairmont Quasar Istanbul will be a landmark hotel for Fairmont – bringing the company’s history of hospitality to the heart of one of the world’s most compelling cities.
Istanbul is a city that has fascinated travellers for millennia; a meeting point between East and West, Asia and Europe, old and new. We plan to become an intrinsic part of Istanbul’s dynamic future, with timeless style, unrivalled service and an incredibly personal experience for every guest, whether travelling for business or leisure.”
Fairmont Quasar is the fifth property of parent company AccorHotels luxury brand portfolio within Istanbul, joining sister properties Raffles Istanbul, Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Pullman Istanbul Airport and Convention Centre and The Elysium Istanbul MGallery by Sofitel.
AccorHotels presently has 32 hotel and resort properties across Turkey, with an additional three hotels slated for opening in Istanbul in 2017, including Galata Hotel Istanbul MGallery by Sofitel.
