49 various historical art pieces from the Roman, Hellenistic and Byzantine time including a cistern and a mosaic were found during the construction phase of the hotel " aged from 2. - 3. B.C. to 5. - 6. A. D. centuries ".
Obtaining the unique official permit from the authorities to keep these historical pieces found under the ground of the hotel, and to display them in the same premise, which happens to be for the first time in the archaeological history in Turkey, encouraged the investors to build up the first " Boutique Museum Hotel " in the country and may be even in the whole world.
Possessing such valuable and extraordinary heritage, these pieces gave the project planners and the Archaeologists of the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul the enthusiasm to display them in such a professional manner so that anyone could easily feel at home in his own private environment, without even being bothered by anything or anyone.
In addition to the historical art collection, the Eresin hotel investors also decided to have a very special picture gallery of Byzantine's and Ottoman's life style -- impressions to be produced by Mr. Gültekin Çizgen, who is Turkey's most renowned demonstrator in this field.
