The modernization period in the 19th century caused important
changes in systems of both travel and accommodation systems.
These changes inevitably affected the architecture of hotels
and other buildings offering accommodation. The first modern
hotels were opened in Galata and Pera by the date of 1840. (It
means first hotel opened in 1840 and then the other hotels began to open) Later hotels began to serve tje in Eminönü, Kadıköy,
Boğaziçi, Adalar, Şişli, Feriköy and Yeşilköy regions. The opening
and development of hotels has continued until the beginning of
the First World War in 1914. There were hotels with suit rooms
and some communal space and there were also hotels which
were as luxurious and wellequipped as European hotels. First hotels were traditionally built of wood or stone, and had only two or
three floors. At the end of the century, hotels were modern structures built using modern materials such as brick and steel, larger
and higher than their predecessors. Beside that these hotels did
not have typical facades, they were constructed with traditional,
neoclassical or mixed facades. The grand luxury hotels were designed by famous European architects and craftsmen and often
magnificently decorated. These grand hotels are also important
because of the technical equipment and technology at the date
they were built. Because of being very important point for many
in the domain of science, modernization period hotels of Istanbul’s are studied by many aspects as urbanisme, architecture,
preservation, tourism and sustainability. In addition, the hotels
are evaluated in terms of commerce and managerment conception, socio-economic status and political importance. And then it
is defined deformations and their causes of these hotels. Finally
suggestions are made that would remove these deformations. It
is believed the data included in this work will be helpfull for planning, arranging and conservation works in Istanbul.
