InterContinental Istanbul completes the first phase of its renovation process...

The first completed phase – covering the lobby and the exterior façade – of the renovation process launched at InterContinental Istanbul, one of our TÜROB Members, was opened with a “Farewell to Summer” event attended by numerous guests and members of the press, including TÜROB President Müberra Eresin and TÜROB Secretary General İsmail Taşdemir. Located in Taksim, the heart of Istanbul, designed in the 1960s, regarded as one of the most important buildings in the history of Turkish architecture, and in service since 1995, InterContinental Istanbul thus put its renewed spaces into use.

Speaking at the event, InterContinental Istanbul General Manager Fatih Şenuslu stated that, with a total investment of USD 50 million in Turkish tourism, the renovation process that began this year will be completed in 2025; that the first phase of the renewal process – which started on the lobby floor and the exterior façade as of January 2023 – has been completed; and that in the second phase the entire hotel, which has 390 rooms, will be completed gradually over a period of 3 years,

with the number of the hotel’s suites being increased from 52 to 104.
