- There are hotels and there are hotels and the Pera Palace (www.perapalace.com) is truly a class above! It is luxurious with wonderful architecture and interiors. But what stands out for Steph and Ollie is the o incredible sense of history which gives the hotel a character and magic that no money can buy,
It is a hotel-museum. First opened in 1895 to welcome visitors from the Orient Express, it has been a witness to some of the greatest figures in modern history, lasting through the reigns of three Ottoman sultans, the fall of the Ottoman Empire, and the rise of the New Turkish Republic - and also contains some incredible mysteries, including one about Agatha Christie, who wrote Murder on the Orient Express there.
Please check out the wonderful Netflix series set at the Pera Palace which involves time travel and going back to the time of Agatha Christie! 'Midnight at the Pera Palace'.
Room 101, exhibiting the traces of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, preserving the splendour of that period with its grandeur and opening its gates to travel in time; can be visited by everyone between 10.00-11.00 and 15.00-16.00 every day at Pera Palace Hotel.
The hotel also has an amazing tea room. And the KUBBELI LOUNGE with the incredible domes features in the Michelin Guide.
Please see www.perapalace.com.
With thanks to the wonderful

I visited the hotel last april with my sister and it was glorious, you could feel the air of mystery and history all around. Also great restaurants, high quality food and superb service from the staff. Returning with my love in the very near future, thank you for this behind the scenes gift
"wow" Stephanie and Ollie, you did it again, I wanted more and more. I just love this channel, we get to see all these beautiful places, we get a backstage pass, we learn so many things a normal tour guide wouldn't give you. SOOOOOOO, thank you both so much for this channel and sharing it with us.
This channel is becoming everything I hoped it would be. How you make such interesting programmes without the backing of a huge production company amazes me. Top class chaps. Bravo! 👏
What a grand and historically (and culturally!) interesting place. Thank you so much, Stephanie and Ollie, for taking us there.
Once again I am astounded! This was an amazing visit. My parents went to Turkey many times as it was their favorite place to vacation. I hope to visit soon. Thank you for this glorious visit to this incredible hotel. As a huge Agatha Christie fan- this was enthralling!
Gorgeous hotel. I am a true disciple of Agatha, love her to pieces! I highly recommend that you go the Greenway House in Devon, Agatha's house there. Wonderful place! Thank you for the video and have an amazing day!
This was really fascinating, I love this travel vlog and the way you both ask questions and describe the history of each place you visit.
The way you talked about Atatürk made me emotional. As a young Turkish woman, I have been brought up with his teachings and am very proud of our past. Thank you so much for another amazing vlog!
I am Turkish and I really enjoyed watching this episode ❤ the parts related Ataturk ---> eyes full of tears ❤️❤️❤️
This was another fabulous vlog that transported us to a very magical hotel. Thank you so much for taking us with you. ❤
Stephanie knows as much as him on some things, wonderful to see.
When you mentioned the Pera hotel in one of your recent vlogs, I ended up pretty much binge-watching the series you mentioned that's on Netflix. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this glorious hotel, the fashions of the time *sigh*, and the intriguing time travel!
This is absolutely enchanting. My household has watched this 3 times!
What fantastic stories and such a colourful history. Who wouldn't want to find treasure in their house. The KEY what a final mystery left by the greatest mystery writer.
Such a lovely and historic hotel, it's now on our bucket list. Oliver, we hope you get to enjoy it again someday with Camilla. She will love it and no doubt she'll need some r&r after all the hard work she's doing on restoring your home in Spain.
Absolutely, the most beautiful of vlogs Turkey is so stunning of a country really, the Hotel is out of this world and rich in history, Love Agatha Christie novels. Appreciate being able to watch all this travel vlogs with Oliver and Stephanie and enjoyed listening to every single bit of this vlog, full of mystery, full of exciting stories of intrigue. So many interesting twists and turns, it all took!
Oh my goodness!!!! This episode had me captivated... Ollie and Stephanie, y'all have done it again. Oh I so look forward to "Travel with a friend"
We went right over to Netflix and watched Pera Palace. Your travels are very informative. I always hear something new that I never heard before.
Thank you, Stephanie and Ollie !
What a fascinating video. How lucky we are. We get treated to the most extraordinary sights and revealing insights each week, from the elegant lounge of the Pera Palace Hotel to the luxurious Royal Suite at the Hotel Bauer Palazzo and our own guided tour of the Dali Theater-Museum in Figueres, Spain. So much to like about Stephanie and Ollie's travel adventures. Besides, I'm saving a ton of money on all the airfare, hotels, meals and entertainment that I don't have to buy! 😁
