Rooms available are standard rooms, suites, long-term residences, and penthouses.

Located in the lobby, tuti Restaurant Bar Lounge offers a global menu with French, Italian, and Mediterranean influences, curated by Executive Chef Ömür Özkan. There is also a carefully curated cocktail list, an extensive wine collection, and internationally acclaimed Vinkara wines from Turkey. The hotel’s rooftop, also known as Balcón, has sweeping views of New York City’s skyline and serves small bites and craft cocktails. Beneath the lobby is the Wellness Center, which offers a Hammam, a traditional ancient Turkish experience performed on the “Gobektasi,” a heated marble slab that follows authentic Turkish Hammam architecture.
