The restaurant, is elegantly decorated again with pastel colours and light wooden furnishings. An open buffet is served for dinner offering international and local dishes. This is a traditional Ottoman style house with light walls and canopied ground floor windows. The hotel is floodlit in the evening. The medium size lobby is beautifully decorated in modern style with traditional Turkish touches. The bar at the rear of the lobby serves afternoon tea, light snacks and cocktails during the day.
