"Located at the core of the historical peninsula."
Built in 1861, Sultan Abdülaziz had ordered the construction as a monument to his reign. His family lived in the palace until 1910 and then used as the house of Parliament. Two months later a fire destroyed the palace, only leaving a shell. In 1946, it was handed over to the municipality and the site was used as a city dump and a soccer field. The Kempinski Hotel Group bought the palace in 1986 and converted it to exclusive suites for their hotel next door.
