The construction of the building completed in three years between 1898 - 1901. According to the researches; the building was in use of the Serbian Consulate. Designed by prolific Ottoman-Armenian architect Hovsep Aznavur in 1901, the recently restored building has now been classified a historical monument.
In reference to the tax rolls obtained from the General Directorate of State Archives, the name of the building was "the Nile Apartments". The building was designed by the famous architect Hosvep Aznavur. When we check into the other works of the family, we find out that architect Aznavur also designed Abbas Halim Paşa Mansion (today’s Mısır Apartments), Abbas Halim Paşa Chalet in Heybeliada, the seaside residence of Princess Rukiye in Kanlıca and Helvan Palace belonging to Abbas Halim Paşa in Egypt.
OCCIDENTAL PUBLIC HOTEL
The Public Hotel which is one of the rare historic buildings of Beyoglu, offers you 52 high-ceiled guestrooms of which 21 were decorated in neoclassic and art nouveau styles and a spacey courtyard. The Public Hotel is located in the very heart of Istanbul’s most popular and dynamical boulevard, Istiklal Avenue where inholds matchless cultural richnesses, an ever-vibrant nightlife, colorful and numerous alternatives of recreation and entertainment.
The Public Hotel is the typical example of the late 19th century Istanbul architecture. The restoration of the building which is a first-degree historical monument, was carried out under the supervision of an advisory committee consisting of experts in their subject and academicians especially leagued together for this project in conjunction with the Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation Board by showing regard to some significant points such as structural reinforcement, load-bearing system security, scientific preservation and restitution, fire safety, architectural history and geotechnical evaluations.
In the course of restoration works, the insertions and fittings of poor quality such as plaster, paint etc. which did not exist in the original architecture of The Public Hotel, were all cleared away and the building was rehabilitated back into its initial form which reflects the authentic architecture of its period. The opening glass roof upon the courtyard at the top of the building was another important constituent of the renovation works. This system enables the lobby floor and some of the guest rooms to receive sunlight directly. The aforementioned courtyard was specially designed considering the today’s hotel guest portfolio.
