Marco Polo Mansion

Come here if you want a history lesson as well as a room with a touch of the exotic, but don't expect modern luxuries. Featured in glossy fashion and travel magazines, the Marco Polo Mansion has captured attention with its stylish decor. As if squeezed from tubes of ancient pigments and weathered in the bleaching sun, the color palate here is all deep blue, mustard, wine, and pitch black. Each guest room is steeped in a history of its own and furnished with antiques and folk art. One was a harem, another a hamam. The Imperial Room has six windows, whereas the Antika 2 room, lined with kilims, has a view of minarets. The smaller garden rooms, nestled in fragrant greenery, reflect the house's Italian period. There's no A/C, but ceiling fans and cross breezes protect you from the heat of the day.
