Rising over the slopes of the Bosphorus, surveying centuries of history, yet silhouetted against the modern skyline of Istanbul, the Fairmont heritage of distinction and style comes to Istanbul, fusing with the city’s storied history and traditions to bring guests an exceptional experience in the heart of one of the world’s most talked about destinations. This special project integrates the Liqueur factory preexisting building that has been preserved in its original form, together with the historical trees that surround it, creating a peaceful and elegant oasis right in the middle of the city’s busiest location.

Reggiani supplied their fixtures to answer the different lighting needs of the many spaces of the hotel, from the Marcel Wanders Lobby to Lounges and hotel rooms to the recreational areas offered:

Stations:
offering a vibrant array of live cooking stations at lunch and dinner, Stations features experiential dining that invites to discover cuisine from around the world. For this environment they use their recessed Yori projector in the rectangular trim version, along with Re Low LED both in the 10W power.

Aila:
embracing authentic Turkish cuisine from all over Anatolia,  Aila opens onto the courtyard evoking an alfresco ambiance in warm weather. The restaurant, with an interior design that boasts traditional local elements, reflects the joy of the never sleeping city and its transforming energy from day time to great night vibes. Here there is the Yori projector in its recessed version, square trim and 13W power along with Re Low LED and architectural recessed product family Mood both in the fixed and wall washer options.

Demlique:
a setting of relaxed elegance, Demlique is perfect for afternoon tea or a robust Turkish coffee accompanied by fresh baked goods and light bites; enlightened by Yori projector in the recessed rectangular trim version.

Willow Stream Spa:
The 2,000 square meter Willow Stream Spa pays homage to local tradition of Turkish bath, including also other facilities ranging from a state-of-the-art gym and Yoga Room to an indoor pool with a retractable glass separator that opens up in spring and summer. The lighting for these spaces is taken care by the recessed product families Unimosa, Re Low LED, Trybeca and Yori.
