Sanasaryan Han occupies a restored historic building in Istanbul's Sirkeci district, placing guests between the Grand Bazaar, Sultanahmet and the Golden Horn. The hotel draws on the layered architecture of the old city, pairing arched forms, stone details and Ottoman era references with contemporary rooms and polished service throughout. The building's original nineteenth century arcaded courtyard remains at the centre of the hotel, connecting the surrounding rooms and public spaces. Contemporary rooms sit above the arcaded ground floor, each shaped by the same stone detailing and arched forms found throughout the public spaces.
