19:15 — The Rooms

Thirty-one rooms, no two of them alike.

The building went up as an apartment house, and we never squared it off. Ceilings run from three metres to five. Some rooms face the courtyard and hear nothing; some face the strait and hear everything.

No. 214Tall shuttered windows onto the courtyard, and quiet enough to sleep through the tram.

20:30 — Dining

Dinner runs until the kitchen gives out.

Meridian is on the first floor: twenty-six covers, one menu that changes when the market does. There is no children's menu and no tasting menu. If you are staying with us, the kitchen will feed you late.

23:00 — The Bar

The last good bar on the hill.

Forty seats, a long zinc counter, and a list built around rakı, sherry and things that keep. Residents drink at the counter without booking. Everyone else should call ahead after ten.

01:20 — Quiet Hours

The one floor where nothing is scheduled.

The hammam runs on the building's original marble: two chambers and a cold room, open to residents from early morning until the small hours. No appointment, no music, no phones past the stair.

04:00 — The House

Built as apartments. Reopened as a hotel.

It was an apartment house, then a print works, then empty for nineteen years. The restoration kept the stair, the marble, and most of the doors. The lift is the only thing in the building younger than the guests.
