Stories & Commitments

Experience timeless elegance at The Galata Istanbul Hotel

Originally known as Baltazzi Han, our historic building was constructed in 1836 and lovingly restored in 2017. Located at the crossroads of Karaköy and Beyoğlu, our hotel captures the essence of Istanbul's dynamic spirit. With 83 rooms, including suites with views of the Galata Tower and Golden Horn, we offer a haven of tranquillity and history. Embrace the rhythmic allure of Istanbul from our terrace or unwind in the Historical Fountain Hammam, a sanctuary of wellness since 1720.

A historic journey through Galata's past

Once the Baltazzi Han's cornerstone in Galata from 1836, echoing tales of Istanbul's vibrant past. A former home to Deutsche Orientbank and La Turquie Gazette.

A modern twist on neoclassical elegance

Tülay Bal's 2017 restoration marries original brick walls and vaults with modern design. Each room, a lyrical fusion of yesterday and today, offers a unique Istanbul dalliance.

Two hundred years of history of our hotel building still keeps written with our guests, you are invited to write the history with us.
