DEBRELİ İSMAİL PAŞA Yalısı / DEBRELI ISMAIL PASHA Mansion

The Debreli Ismail Pasa yali, built in the Turkish Baroque style in 1778 near the Mosque of Beylerbeyi, was burnt down, like many others over the years.

Since its restoration, it is now a boutique hotel. The original plan of the building was designed by the architect Alexandre Vallaury in 1890.

For those wishing to spend a night in an historical waterfront mansion, the website of the boutique hotel is http://www.BosphorusPalace.com .
