Building & History
Housed in a building dating to the early 1900s with French architectural style typical of Beyoğlu, the hotel features high ceilings and a marble spiral staircase. The street name 'Kumbaracı' references the historical coin storage containers used when Count de Bonneval lived here.
“The Story Hotel Pera stands out for its prime location in Beyoğlu, granting immediate access to Istiklal Street and nearby cultural hotspots. I found the hotel's blend of historical architecture and modern amenities particularly appealing, along with the consistently praised staff and their personalized service, creating a stay that feels both stylish and genuinely accommodating.”
