Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has announced a brand new development in Istanbul, Turkey, scheduled to open in 2016.
The 210-room hotel would be joined by branded residences and is a part of the Quasar Istanbul complex, a brand new mixed-use development within the Sisli district, a colourful neighbourhood blending commercial, residential and retail yet situated as regards to major attractions within the city.
The project is being developed through a three way partnership between Viatrans – Meydanbey.
Viatrans is a Geneva-based company specialising in shipping logistics and insurance in addition commercial real estate.
The Quasar Istanbul complex is within the central business district whose showpiece is the previous Mecidiyeköy Liqueur and Cognac Factory.
Built within the 1930’s on then undeveloped land, the factory was designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens, who with Le Corbusier was among the many most influential modern French architects of that era.
Two 41-story towers will sit above a 4-story office podium with fitness facilities and comfort retail stores.
The towers will house a Fairmont Hotel and Fairmont Residences in addition to Quasar Residences and offices in an effort to be managed by Fairmont.
The hotel will feature Fairmont Gold, the brand’s hotel within a hotel lifestyle offering, a large number of lounges and a number of other restaurants, 2,000 square meters of function space, and a Willow Stream Spa.
The two residences are whole-ownership, private homes and should offer studios, 1 and a couple of-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom duplexes.
While in residence, owners may have access to a personal lounge and quite a lot of services and amenities along with 24-hour concierge, wine cellar, preferred pricing for different hotel offerings including dining, spa and fitness, meeting facilities, hotel guestrooms and more.
Owners may also be awarded VIP status and privileges after they travel to any Fairmont hotels or resorts worldwide.
“Istanbul is an exhilarating, dynamic city with a purpose to attract our business and leisure guests,” said Jennifer Fox, president, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.
“As well as complementing our other developments within the region, it’s very exciting to be partnering with Viatrans in this amazing project blending hotel, residential and community space.”
