Our story started during the first half of 18th. Century.

The buildings that constitute HOTEL TUVANA were designed and built by Abdi Efendi, one of the glorious officers of the Ottoman Empire.

Abdi Efendi was to welcome important guests in these houses, and that's way he employed the best craftsmen in the construction of these buildings, which were one of the beauties of that period's architecture. Later on, one thousand and one nights tales were lived in these houses.

Various guests from the Empire, Ambassadors etc. have lived unforgettable days and nights here.

Later, Emine Haným, the daughter of Abdi Efendi got married to Mehmet Bey, one of the well-known cotton dealers of Antalya. They carried on the family tradition and Ottoman life style, preserving the original beauty of the buildings until the current date.
