Theresa Russel and Michael Melvoin were Armada's Guest...

Famous American actrist Theresa Russell whom we remember with her latest appearance on the movie “Spiderman 3”, was in Istanbul right after her visit in Antalya for “The Golden Orange Film Festival” with her famous musician friend Michael Melvoin and chose Hotel Armada for their stay in Istanbul.

During their stay in Armada, Russell and Melvoin dined in “Armada Sera”, enjoying the views of the Prince Islands and the historical peninsula. Surely they brought some home-made cherry liqueur – a speciality of Armada which is produced by the Armada team at the Terrace– back home before leaving!

Just before her departure Russell wrote in Armada’s Honourable Guests Book contently as seen by her expression in the picture that it was such a nice experience to have spent her time at the Hotel Armada.

“Everything about our brief stay here has been unforgettable. Your genereous hospitality is simply the best we have ever experienced.
We will return when we can spend much more time to enjoy your great city and your matchless hotel! When we think of cherry wine your elegant and unique food and service, decoration and setting will come to our minds. Thank you so much!


We will return and only ever stay here!”

Stephan Micus Honoured The Armada Otel

Stephan Micus, the famous jazz master and multi-instrumentalist who has dedicated much of his life to understanding and studying traditional instruments and then playing them in a completely untraditional way, was our guest last week. He came to Istanbul for the Akbank 18th Jazz Festival and stayed at the Armada Hotel. Micus preferred the Guest Lounge as the venue while giving special interviews to Turkish press.

He also signed Armada's Honour Book saying: "To the team of Armada Hotel, Thank you for making me feel at home"!
