ZEYNEP SULTAN HOTEL PROJECT

Located in Istanbul’s historic peninsula, Zeynep Sultan Hotel is one of CASTAMO’s special projects, where the brand undertook both interior architectural design and custom-made furniture solutions. The project preserves the city’s centuries-old cultural texture while reflecting a boutique hotel interior design approach reinterpreted with a modern sense of comfort. 

Design Concept: A Modern Interpretation Respectful of Historical Texture

The main design approach of the Zeynep Sultan Hotel project is to create a contemporary interior language without disrupting the historical character of its location.

In the spatial design:

  • Simple and refined lines harmonious with the historical surroundings
  • Functional planning that supports modern comfort
  • A warm atmosphere that strengthens the identity of a small-scale boutique hotel
  • A timeless design language free from unnecessary ostentation have been prioritized.

This approach transforms the hotel from merely a place of accommodation into an experience-oriented living space.

Interior Design: Simple Luxury and Functional Elegance

Within the scope of the project, the interiors were designed in accordance with the boutique hotel scale, with a focus on both aesthetics and functionality.

  • A holistic design language extending from the lobby to the rooms
  • Spacious and well-organized spatial arrangement
  • Ergonomic layout plans that enhance comfort
  • Details that prioritize the guest experience

This approach creates a consistent and refined design identity throughout every area of the hotel.

Furniture Production: Custom Details with the CASTAMO Signature

All furniture used in the project was custom-made by CASTAMO with bespoke dimensions and design. In this way, the character of the space gained a more distinctive identity, setting it apart from standard hotel furniture.

Featured production details:

  • High-quality fabrics and upholstery materials
  • Durable wooden and metal constructions
  • Detailed surfaces finished with hand craftsmanship
  • A production approach focused on long-lasting use

This production quality strengthens both the aesthetic value and operational durability of the hotel.

Material and Color Use: Calm and Timeless Tones

The color and material palette used in Zeynep Sultan Hotel was selected to harmonize with the historical atmosphere of the space.

  • Warm beige and cream tones
  • Natural wood surfaces
  • Soft grey transitions
  • Minimal contrast details

This color approach gives the space both a peaceful and sophisticated atmosphere.

Lighting Design: Soft Light That Enhances the Atmosphere

The lighting design is one of the most important atmosphere-defining elements of the project. In line with the boutique hotel concept, a warm and inviting lighting language was preferred.

  • Soft general lighting
  • Accent lights that highlight architectural details
  • Warm ambiance in relaxation areas

This system allows the hotel to offer a different yet consistent atmosphere at every hour of the day.
