Savon Hotel has been built as a soap and olive oil factory in 1860’s during the Ottoman period. The original building was in U shape which had rooms at the sides and a courtryard in the middle. The structure of the building was made out of stone vaults and arcades. This type of architectural style was also common in cities like Gaziantep, Urfa and Aleppo.

The factory was bought by Sehoglu family in 1930 and contunied its operations until early 1960’s. Since then the building was closed until 2001. In 2001, after going through a two year renovation, this historical building opened its doors to the public as a beautiful hotel.
