Architecture Han Tümertekin
Old World grandeur reigns in the public spaces, with marble columns and fireplaces, ceramic tiles, and an elegantly age-worn staircase. The German-built bank vault, just off the lobby, now hosts a wine cellar where guests can take part in tastings.
Interior design Sinan Kafadar
A rich color palette of oranges and greens—recalling the building’s moneyed past—offset the cool marble majesty. Texture comes courtesy of custom-designed furniture imported from Italy and works by area artists. Guestrooms are another alluring balancing act, with crisp white linens, soaring ceilings, crown moldings, Carrara marble bathrooms, and abstract art.
Food & Drink Where East meets West
Serica’s story is based on different cultures whose roots and origins reach back centuries. Chef Yiğit Alicioğlu has crafted a menu that represents the local flavors of many origins, preserving their existing cultural richness. Here, fresh Aegean tastes, as well as those from the Black Sea, Central Anatolia, and Southeast Asia, flavor the menu.
Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
The building was updated according to the principle,"Restore without damaging authenticity and protect its artistic value." Because of this, energy and resources were reduced during construction.
The hotel does not offer any single-use plastics or products. Paper waste is reduced through digital filing, and plastic room keys have been replaced with wooden cards.
The hotel uses solar-powered energy across the venue. In addition, energy-efficient lighting helps to curb excessive energy consumption.
The water supply is limited to prevent excessive use. By informing guests about the effort to limit the changing of towels and sheets in their rooms, the hotel aims to decrease water consumption.
Products are sourced predominantly via local suppliers and businesses. Guests are also encouraged to purchase textiles, handicrafts, and other local items from nearby vendors.
This is an important principle for the hotel. Guests are informed of any relevant cultural offerings. The hotel also organizes private guided tours that allow guests to learn about Turkish culture and history.
The hotel aims to provide a positive working environment for staff, where people with different beliefs and opinions can work in harmony. It prioritizes the occupational health and safety of employees and stakeholders.
The hotel has a sustainability policy that it shares with guests on its website and via email. The hotel values regular feedback from guests, to continue developing and improving on its sustainability efforts.
