Let’s talk about why we named our hotel ‘Vavien’.

Vavien is an electric term which means managing a center from many points and its origin comes from va-et-vient word in French.

Our settlement is in Karakoy which has been a meeting point for many cultures throughout the history owing to the port connecting Asia to Europe.. Karakoy is still an exotic center of attraction where East and West get together as it was in the past and where you can enjoy the old city by getting lost in its streets

There would be no other great name but Vavien when 2 brothers who were grown up in Karakoy streets, earned their life with electiricity and became the well-known tradespeople in this field decided to open this hotel to host their guests in the oldest place of Istanbul

And Vavien waits for hosting its guests in its history in the oldest place of the city where many cultures, religions and beliefs get beautifully together like an electrical circuit.

Are you ready to take your place in this exotic circuit?
