Turkish hospitality brands celebrate major anniversaries through art and culture

Two prominent Turkish hospitality groups are celebrating major milestones through cultural and artistic events.

Four Seasons Hotel Sultanahmet marked its 30th anniversary in Istanbul with an event featuring storyteller Sunay Akın. The celebration highlighted the hotel's history, including its evolution from a former prison, and featured a six-course menu by Executive Chef Özgür Üstün inspired by Anatolian and Ottoman culinary traditions.

Elite World Hotels & Resorts is celebrating its 50th anniversary at Contemporary Istanbul. The brand is showcasing a special art project designed by Mercado, featuring a 2.5-meter-high paper installation by artist Ladin Aküzüm titled ‘Ters Lale’ (Inverted Tulip). The project draws inspiration from the company's origins in Van and utilizes digital storytelling to connect its local heritage with the international art platform.
