A local would say...

Agatha Christie wrote in Room 411 — Atatürk stayed in Room 101. Pamuk's family used to take tea in the lobby.

Built in 1892 to host passengers arriving on the Orient Express, this grand hotel has sheltered Agatha Christie (who supposedly wrote Murder on the Orient Express in Room 411), Greta Garbo, Hemingway, and Atatürk himself. Even if you're not a guest, step into the lobby for a coffee — the Orient Bar's patisserie and the gilded cage elevator are pure Belle Époque theatre.
