Ottoman Hotel Imperial was built as an Ottoman school and hospital in the mid of 1800's. The building served the teachers and pupils of the historical "medrese" for around 70 years. The hospital was built in early 1900's and served the marchants of the Ottoman handicraft producers and masters. In the mid of the 20th century the building was changed to a hotel to serve young travellers and pupils. The properties were renovated and reconstructed in 2005 to a special class premium & superior historical hotel. The left image above was taken in early 1900's when the Ottoman army was marching by the original building of the Ottoman Hotel Imperial.
