9.2 /10

Built in 1892 to host Orient Express passengers, Pera Palace is a living museum of Istanbul's cosmopolitan past. Agatha Christie wrote Murder on the Orient Express here, and Ataturk kept a permanent suite. Meticulously restored, it offers a journey through Belle Epoque grandeur with modern comforts.

Editor's Tip

Request Room 411 where Agatha Christie wrote. The lobby bar is essential. Pure Orient Express glamour.
