Hyatt announces the opening of Nish Palas Istanbul as part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
CHICAGO, 2018-May-22 — /Travel PR News/ — Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today the opening of Nish Palas Istanbul as part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. The 45-room boutique hotel is located in Nişantaşı, one of Istanbul’s oldest and most exciting neighborhoods, and will mark the entry into Turkey for The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand.
Once popular in 19th century for Ottoman hunting events, the Nişantaşı neighborhood is now known for its one-of-a-kind designer boutiques, lively restaurants and story-worthy art galleries. It is also home to many of Turkey’s most creative minds, including the 2006 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Orhan Pamuk, and world-famous pianist and composer Fazıl Say.
“We are thrilled to open a hotel in one of Istanbul’s most upscale and creative neighborhoods with an experience that embraces the city’s rich cultural history and charm,” said Cantekin Temizer, general manager of Nish Palas Istanbul. “With a team who is most knowledgeable and passionate about this area, we look forward to providing guests with an extraordinary and inspiring stay.”
Providing guests with a space to call home, the charming 45-room boutique hotel will be the postmodern interpretation of a typical historical apartment, known as a “Palas.” Offering a sense of discovery for independent-minded travelers in Istanbul, the hotel features a rooftop bar overlooking the Bosphorus strait, and a spa housing a traditional Hammam with locally inspired healing treatments. Taking cues from the local culture, Glens, the hotel’s restaurant and bar, will serve authentic Mediterranean cuisine.
Nish Palas Istanbul will be the first property in Turkey for The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. Launched in 2016, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is a global collection of unique and independent properties that promise to create story-worthy and shareable experiences for the modern traveler.

Rooted in the culture of Istanbul, each guestroom features touches inspired by the local area, including photos depicting the history of the neighborhood and books hand-selected from local shops. The warm ambiance of the Terrace Rooms present a spacious and casual open plan living, with space for dining and entertainment on the terraces.
Dining and Drinking
Providing the perfect setting for a unique experience, Glens restaurant and bar places emphasis on local, artisanal produce, social responsibility and community welfare. Guests can experience authentic Mediterranean cuisine, with an option to sit on the open terrace overlooking Istanbul’s popular Abdi Ipekci Street.
