OUR STORY

Founded in the heart of Istanbul in the 1980s, AHC Hotels & Resort has grown into a trusted symbol of authentic Turkish hospitality, modern comfort, and unforgettable cultural experiences. What began with the visionary leadership of our Chairman, Mr. Yaşar Aktürk, and a single hotel in Vezneciler now the AHC Old City Hotel soon evolved into a growing collection of properties in the city’s most iconic neighborhoods: Sultanahmet, Taksim, and the Grand Bazaar.

More than just hotels, AHC has become a lifestyle destination. Our story is told not only through our rooms and views, but also through the tastes and moments crafted in our signature restaurants and lounges from the serene elegance of Loti Bistro to the vibrant energy of Çınçın Meyhane, the rooftop romance of Loti Roof Lounge, and the exclusive intimacy of Panorama Restaurant. Each venue is designed to celebrate Istanbul’s rich heritage, while offering guests new ways to connect, indulge, and enjoy.

AHC short for Aktürk Hotels Company  remains a family-owned brand, proudly led by a new generation: Mrs. Aslı Aktürk Pehlivanlar and Mr. Bora Pehlivanlar, who carry the legacy forward with a spirit of innovation and excellence.

With every guest, every room, and every table, we continue to write a story that blends the soul of old Istanbul with the standards of modern hospitality and we’re just getting started.
