Location :
Located at the heart of Istanbul's historical peninsula, surrounded
by the ancient city walls and with views of two of the most magnificent
masterpieces of world architecture, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque,
Hotel Armada offers a unique experience to the visitor. Open for
service since 1994, the building was constructed on the site of
a series of row houses which were built for the marine soldiers
of the famed Ottoman Admiral Hayrettin Pasha (Barbarossa) in the
16th century.
In reconstructing the building old engravings depicting
the houses were used as the houses themselves were completely demolished
during a fire and Armada was designed to the facade architecture
of its original. Elements of modern comfort and convenience have
been carefully blended into the historical atmosphere both in the
exterior and in the interior design.
