The first and only art hotel of Turkey, Casa Dell’Arte was established in 2007 by one of the important collector families of Turkey, the Buyukkusoglu family and in fact became the very first step of the first and only art brand of Turkey. Mrs. Fatos Buyukkusoglu, as an experienced designer, undertook the design part when the idea to establish an art hotel emerged. Her daughters; especially her elder daughter Mrs. Ahu Buyukkusoglu assisted her. The younger daughter of the family, Ms. Gamze Buyukkusoglu was as well included in the project. As an artist, based in NY, she participated in the project with her experience in art, providing the artist’s point of view.  There are 12 guest suites at the Hotel, each one of which is individually decorated. Each and every one of these suites is decorated differently and the artwork displayed in the rooms also varies. There are over 200 Turkish paintings displayed at the hotel, with 300 resident pieces that are revolving every year.  All of the beds & closets in the rooms are specially built by both Turkish & Italian furniture makers. All the other furnitures throughout the hotel are antique furnitures that the Buyukkusoglu family has collected over the years.
