Description of object
Ark İstanbul Apartments are placed in a registered historical building of second degree located in Karaköy - one of the most historical and characteristic quarters of İstanbul . The building is called Gümrük Han which means “custom-house”. Indeed, Gümrük Han since its construction in the late XIX. century has served as an Ottoman custom-house. Later, changing its function, it was divided in a number of offices for the trade of small construction material.
Ark İstanbul bought the building in 2007 after seeing its great potential for introducing its enchanting surroundings to the people all around the world. But what is so enchanting about this area?
