Wilson Associates inspired by Paris, NY and Turkey for Fairmont Quasar Istanbul

Dallas-based interior design firm Wilson Associates has completed Fairmont Quasar Istanbul, located in the Mecidiyeköy district of Turkey’s capital.

The Fairmont Quasar Istanbul is part of the Quasar Istanbul complex, which has two 40-story towers that sit atop a four-story office podium. The towers have 209 guestrooms, including 25 suites and 40 Fairmont Gold rooms, with an additional 64 residences. The design project also included the restoration of the historic liquor factory, designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens.

Wilson Associates was reportedly inspired by New York and Paris for much of the interiors, and incorporated design elements from Turkey as well.

Key elements found in the luxury hotel include a lobby reception that serves as a portal between the hotel and residences; Peacock’s Alley, which is an extended runway to the Great Room; the Great Room, which was inspired by the historic liquor factory, and is now a space with a cocktail bar; and the Tea Parlor & Patisserie, which combines influences from Paris and New York.

Fairmont Quasar Istanbul also has meeting rooms with "high-end details" and classic architectural elements.
