http://www.perapalas.com — Few hotel openings have been as eagerly awaited as the reopening of the Pera Palace hotel, set for spring 2010. It first opened in 1892 as a hostel for travelers on the Orient Express. The two-year, €20 million ($29 million) restoration will leave many belle époque furnishings intact, including a wood-cabin elevator. Suite 101 is a museum honoring Kemal Ataturk, father of the Turkish Republic who strategized there in the last days of the Ottoman Empire.
