Photo & Video Production International Production Interior Design Hotels & Gastronomy
Sanasaryan Han, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Istanbul, masterfully integrates the district's rich heritage with the city's contemporary culture through a dynamic blend of old and new in its modern design. Built in 1895 by renowned architect Hovsep Aznavuryan, this neo-classical masterpiece has been meticulously restored to preserve its historical exterior while showcasing an interior that highlights art and culture at every turn. The hotel rooms are adorned with intricate handcrafted copper pieces from local artisans in Eminönü and the Spice Bazaar, and feature iconic "Erguvan" flowers designed by Alika Aydar. Unique design elements, such as the handmade glass light installation and the ceramic replicas of diplomas from the Sanasaryan School in Erzurum, underscore the hotel's commitment to celebrating Istanbul's poetic essence and historical legacy.

The collaboration between photographer and artist Harun Doğan and architect Efe Aydar, who orchestrated the restoration and interior design of Sanasaryan Han, culminates in the exclusive Momentum photography exhibition, adding a distinctive atmosphere to the hotel that reflects Istanbul's timeless beauty.
