The Legacy Ottoman Hotel, operating in a historic building in Sultanahmet, is moving into the luxury segment
Legacy Ottoman Hotel, operating in a historic building in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district, has announced that it will serve the luxury segment starting from 2027.

The Legacy Ottoman Hotel, operating in a historic building in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district, has announced that it will move into the luxury segment starting in 2027. This was reported with reference to the hotel's statement.
What the transition entails — the number of rooms, renovation work, the volume of investment, or pricing policy — is not disclosed. What is known is that the change is planned for 2027.
Sultanahmet, as a historic center, is one of the zones with the heaviest tourist flow in Istanbul. For hotels operating in historic buildings, moving up a segment often faces the limitations of the building itself.
No direct impact on the Azerbaijani market is apparent, but for small hotels and guesthouses located in historic buildings in Baku and the regions, this is an example showing how much long-term planning a segment upgrade requires.
