THE GRAND TARABYA: THE TIMELESS ADDRESS OF LUXURY ACCOMMODATION FOR A CENTURY
The Grand Tarabya has a magnificent history dating back to the early 1900s. In the late 19th century, the location where The Grand Tarabya stands today was home to the wooden summer facility of Tokatlıyan Hotel. This building, which became unusable after a fire in 1954, was replaced by Büyük Tarabya Hotel in 1966 after nearly a decade-long construction. Being the third five-star hotel in Istanbul at that time, Büyük Tarabya Hotel quickly became the first choice for both local and foreign elite guests, and it served as the backdrop for many cinema films featuring Turkey's famous stars. After this glittering period, Büyük Tarabya Hotel fell into silence for a long time due to renovations. In 2006, it was purchased by Bayraktarlar Holding, founded by İzzet Bayraktar, and underwent a six-year restoration and renovation process. Being one of Istanbul's most special hotels in terms of its historical and magnificent location, Büyük Tarabya Hotel reopened as The Grand Tarabya on February 12, 2013, with its renewed face and full splendor.
The Grand Tarabya, a member of Leading Hotels of the World (LHW, 2013-2021), opened its doors and was awarded as the 'Best Meeting Hotel in the Marmara Region' by Ace of M.I.C.E. (2015), recognized as 'Turkey's Best New Hotel' by CATHIC (2013), and honored as one of 'Turkey's Most Successful Tourism Investments' in the 'Urban Hotel' category by Ekonomist and Capital magazines. Additionally, it was awarded the '5 Star Diamond' by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, recognized for 'Best Interior Design' by the European Hotel Awards, and received the 'City Hotel 2013' award from SKAL Istanbul.
