The hotel will open under the banner of Canopy by Hilton as part of the Taksim 360 project in Istanbul.
The announcement signals the arrival of the Canopy boutique lifestyle brand in the country and is also the 100th trading or pipeline hotel in Hilton’s Turkish portfolio. Born from an agreement signed with Çalık Holding A.S., Canopy by Hilton Istanbul Taksim is expected to open in 2023.
The hotel will house 110 rooms each boasting unique design features. Additionally, it will have a meeting room and a boardroom, three eateries, a bar and a Canopy Central hub for guests. Canopy Enthusiasts at the hotel will also provide visitors with local insight and tips on things to see and do in the area.
Canopy by Hilton Istanbul Taksim will be a part of Taksim 360, an urban renewal project currently under construction that will contain housing, offices, commercial areas and shopping zones. As the name suggests, the site will be in immediate proximity to Istanbul’s popular Taksim Square. The hotel will offer its guests easy access to the area’s numerous galleries, shops, restaurants, bars and cafes.
One hundred hotels is a wonderful achievement for Hilton and demonstrates our long and fruitful relationship with Turkey, which is where Hilton first established its international footprint over 65 years ago. We have built a strong presence in this welcoming country over recent decades and are proud of the unmatched legacy that Hilton has established here.
