Apartment #5 – The Penthouse Retreat Above Karaköy
Crowning the magnificently restored Vedat Tek–designed building of The Muradiye Luxury Apartments, this 175 m² two-bedroom penthouse offers a rare sense of privacy, space, and light in the heart of historic Karaköy. Blending the grace of early-20th-century Istanbul architecture with the sophistication of contemporary design, it provides an elevated sanctuary for those seeking both comfort and character.
Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a vast, sun-drenched living area distinguished by soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and timeless finishes. The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen zones, creating an airy flow ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A fully equipped modern kitchen invites home-style cooking or private-chef service curated by The Muradiye Concierge.
The master suite is a serene haven featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with both a deep soaking bathtub and a rain shower — the perfect combination of indulgence and calm. A second bedroom offers additional comfort and privacy, allowing the penthouse to accommodate up to four guests with ease while maintaining its generous sense of space and elegance.
A dedicated laundry room adds to the practicality of long stays, while every detail — from custom lighting to handcrafted furnishings — showcases a careful balance between heritage and contemporary elegance.
Art lovers will appreciate the curated collection of works celebrating Abdülcanbaz, the legendary Istanbul Gentleman, whose charm and wit echo the cosmopolitan spirit of the city itself.
Guests of Apartment #5 enjoy exclusive access to The Muradiye’s private terrace, where sweeping views of the Galata Tower, the Golden Horn, and Istanbul’s storied skyline unfold at sunset. The terrace’s elegant bar area offers the perfect setting for a glass of wine, a private gathering, or a moment of quiet reflection above the city.
Complementing this exceptional residence, The Muradiye’s bespoke services include daily cleaning, laundry and dry-cleaning, private car and driver arrangements, pre-arrival grocery stocking, digital concierge support, and curated in-house experiences such as private dinners or wine tastings.
With its spacious design, panoramic outlook, and timeless sophistication, Apartment #5 defines penthouse living in Istanbul — a serene urban hideaway where architecture, art, and attentive service come together in perfect harmony.
