The hotel features 85 luxurious rooms and suites spread across four historic buildings surrounded by pastoral gardens that reflect the Ottoman architectural style of the era. The rooms are designed in an authentic style with original furnishings and hand-woven carpets. Guests can enjoy a range of culinary experiences at the hotel’s various restaurants.
