Inspired by the rich history and culture of Istanbul and the breathtaking Bosphorus views, the Atik Pasha Suite reflects a thoughtful blend of contemporary and Ottoman design motifs in keeping with the design concept of the Hotel. Every detail is custom made, including the Indian walnut flooring, Murano chandeliers, Vanelli curtains and handmade glassware specially produced for the Suite. In the spa-like master bath, the traditional Turkish hammam inspires elements such as the freestanding bath and steam room. The Suite's decoration showcases Turkish culture with modernised motifs, with a fresh colour scheme evoking the brilliant waters of the Bosphorus with tranquil shades of blue, green, silver and light gray. Handmade glassware in the çe#m-i bülbül (nightingale's eyes) style is one of the best examples of this concept. Outstanding pieces selected from the Hotel’s extensive art collection adorn the Atik Pasha Suite, including paintings by renowned contemporary Turkish artists such as Güzhan Müstecapl#o#lu, #rem #nceday#, Kerim K#l#çarslan, S#rma Olcay Kefeli and Timur Kerim #nceday#. Of special interest are the astonishing engravings of Antoine Ignace Melling, published by Ahmet Ertu#, which hint at life along the Bosphorus in the 18th and 19th centuries. The -born Melling was appointed as imperial architect by the Ottoman Sultan Selim III, and executed a number of impressive panoramic views of Istanbul and its environs.
