A 300-year old Armenian historic mansion in Turkish town of Mardin has
turned into 5-star hotel, Sondakika reports.
The five-storeyed building which previously served as children's house
was abandoned for many years. The building has 32 rooms and has been
bought by a Mardin businessman Firat Irmak. Together with his Italian
partner he spent over 22 million Turkish lira for the reconstruction.
`This mansion was built in old Armenian district. In the first years
of independence the building served as children's house. It has turned
into hotel after two years of work,' he said.
Director of Mardin Hotel Zeinep Temiz is pleased with the interest
tourists are demonstrating toward the hotel. Before the official
opening, 70% of the rooms have already been booked.
