The Golden Horn, a symbol of abundance and prosperity since the Byzantine era, served as an excellent natural harbour that made Istanbul a key trade centre in the Mediterranean and Near East during the Middle Ages. Inspired by its location, Rixos Tersane Istanbul has curated a special art collection under the theme of cultural sustainability. This collection will feature contemporary artworks by both local and international artists, accompanied by a catalogue and digital archive. Opening in this unique area, the hotel plays a vital role in reviving and passing down this deep-rooted cultural heritage to future generations.
