Gallery Residence, Istanbul, Turkey

A former textile store has been converted to a luxury boutique hotel in Nisantasi, Istanbul’s hippest district. The all-suites Gallery Residence is a unique alternative to hotels, apart-hotels and serviced apartments. Owned, created and run by the architect Yalcin Saglikova, the hotel’s name and concept are inspired by the world of art. The hotel’s  twenty-one  450 sq. ft. suites include an open kitchen with full facilities, allowing a little more independence  than your typical hotel.
