Hotel Interior Design & Head of Design
in Istanbul
In Istanbul we work on hotel and upper-segment residential projects with the experience gained from central conversion works such as Westin Nişantaşı. The core difficulty in the metropolis is process, not space: brand standards, operator expectations, investor budget and municipal approval routinely contradict each other. The interior architect's real contribution on these projects is spotting the contradiction early and fixing the design decision at the point all four parties can sign — otherwise cost escapes control during construction.
Head of Design experience across 15+ hotel projects. Hilton, Westin and Crowne Plaza references. As Murat Yuksel Interior Architecture, we bring Head of Design calibre to your projects in and around Istanbul.

How do I start an interior design project in Istanbul?
Murat Yuksel Interior Architecture serves Istanbul and the surrounding area from its İzmit base. The process opens with a free discovery meeting: we see the space, then define the brief and budget range together. Region-specific issues such as city-centre hotel conversion projects are covered in that first conversation.
How long does a hotel & hospitality design project in Istanbul take?
Concept design typically runs 3-5 weeks and the technical/construction package 4-8 weeks, extending with scope. Head of Design experience across 15+ hotel projects. Hilton, Westin and Crowne Plaza references. Site supervision continues through the construction phase.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing follows floor area, scope (concept only, or full construction package with site supervision) and the proportion of bespoke fabrication. The first discovery meeting is free; a fixed-fee proposal follows once scope is agreed. Contact murat@yukselmurat.com for details.
