午夜的佩拉皇宫：近代伊斯坦堡的誕生

The hotel feels like a nexus of history and culture — I wonder what led the author to center the narrative around it and its stories.

The way personal stories intertwined with major events made me see the city’s history in a new light. Did this approach resonate with others?

There are so many fascinating personalities connected to the Pera Palace — I’d love to know what guided the choices of who to include and whose stories to emphasize.
