ANTOINE GALATA
Your Private journey In the heart of Istanbul

Nestled in the vibrant centre of Istanbul, Antoine Galata, our Grade II listed historical property, stands witness to a living tapestry woven from centuries of history, culture, and artistry. Just steps away from the world famous, iconic Galata Tower, the property invites guests into a world where the charm of the Levant merges seamlessly with modern sophistication.

The story begins in the late 19th century with Antoine Urgliavich who was one of the most important manufacturers of eyeglasses and optical lenses of his time. He also produced binoculars and telescopes, being  due to his love of observing the sky and space.

In 1867, Mr Urgliavich had the unique opportunity to choose the best location around the Galata Tower to build his house and atelier, locating the building in the most convenient place using the knowledge he had gained through his observations. Hence, the building dominates the Galata Square.
Antoine Galata is literally minutes away from the most fantastic locations in Istanbul; Istiklal Street, the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus, the Historical Peninsula, not to mention the best culinary experiences in the City.
