Hotels Own Introduction
A Historic Address in the Heart of Pera
Casa Foscolo is a newly renovated luxury boutique hotel located in Istanbul’s iconic Pera district, an area celebrated for its cultural heritage, vibrant arts scene and cosmopolitan energy. Housed in a historic neo-classical building, the hotel blends timeless architecture with contemporary refinement, offering an intimate stay rooted in the city’s storied past.
Art-Led Design and Thoughtful Interiors
Art lies at the very core of Casa Foscolo’s identity. Carefully curated artworks animate both guestrooms and public spaces, transforming the hotel into a living exhibition. Each interior tells its own story through distinctive design elements, making art not a decorative accent, but the soul of the hotel itself. From the moment guests arrive, they are immersed in an atmosphere that inspires creativity and reflection.
Boutique Rooms and Suites
With just 18 rooms, Casa Foscolo offers a private and residential feel. The collection includes elegant suites with kitchenettes and superior rooms featuring balconies overlooking the neighborhood. Every room is individually designed, combining comfort, character and artistic expression for a refined urban retreat in Istanbul.
Dining, Culture and Creative Spaces
Guests are welcomed each morning with an à la carte breakfast, thoughtfully prepared to start the day with ease. On the B1 level, Casa Foscolo offers a flexible workspace and exhibition area, reinforcing its role as a cultural hub as much as a hotel. In the lobby, the Minoa Library bar and coffee shop invites guests to enjoy a drink while browsing, reading or purchasing books in a relaxed, intellectual setting.
An Artistic Stay Beyond Accommodation
At Hotel Casa Foscolo, the experience extends far beyond lodging. By hosting rotating artworks and exhibitions, the hotel becomes a platform for artistic dialogue. Every corner is designed to spark inspiration, offering guests not just a place to stay, but a journey through creativity, culture and design.
Casa Foscolo Terrace Bar
Overlooking the timeless skyline of Pera, Casa Foscolo Terrace Bar is a gathering place where Istanbul reveals its most poetic side. As sunset colors drift across the city, guests can enjoy signature cocktails crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients, a curated wine selection and refined artisanal bites. Each drink is part of a narrative that connects Istanbul’s past with its present, inviting guests to feel the rhythm of the city beneath the open sky.
