Hotel Oberj d'Azur Alaçatı (Alaçatı, Turkey)

Oberj d’Azur Alaçatı was built by Greek workers who were brought to the village for the works of Hacı Memiş Ağa in the late 19th century. During its construction, indigenous light colored, soft stones brought from Mount Balanbaka and special mortars were used instead of cement. For this reason, it confines the heat in winter and cold in summer. The building, which has a small courtyard, is a two-storey structure with bay windows. We, Ebru and Özgür Tolunay, owners of the hotel and houses belonging to “d’Azur Hotels” group, settled in Alaçatı and opened our hotel to make our dreams come true after working in corporate companies in Istanbul and Paris. The name of our hotel, which means Azur’s house, comes from the name of our son. We, who are travelers at the same time, take inspiration from all the journeys we set on to not to leave a place in the world we didn’t travel, experiences we have, and people we meet. We are a big family with our cats, dog, friends and guests in our hotel which is full of flavors and furniture brought from far away…
