MAÇKA PALAS

The history of Maçka Palas dates back to 1922, when the Italian tradesman, Vincenzo Caivano has chosen the current venue to built an apartment mainly due to 2 important  reasons; the location of the Italian embassy in the front side which would potentially turn Maçka Palas into a residence of the diplomats, and his vision that this area would become a valuable place.

He gave the mission to draw the architecture of Maçka Palas to the Italian architect, Guilo Mongeri, graduated from the Academy of Brera in Milan and the building has been completed within 11 month which was a short period of time in those days. In November of 2008, the former prestigious residence, re-opened it’s doors as the Park Hyatt Istanbul - Maçka Palas.

This classic, contemporary property incorporates sophisticated minimalism, luxury amenities with subtle Turkish flair - a departure from the classic “Ottoman” design that is often overdone.
