HISTORY

It all started with a bus company in Van, the pearl of the East. Hazar Tourism. Thousands of passengers travel safely across Turkey with Hazar Tourism. Meanwhile, Van has become more active. Now, the frost in the East has thawed and the streets in Van have become more lively.

The world of trade in the East is becoming more dynamic every day. The East is full of long and challenging roads. These are the days when passengers traveling by bus have to sleep on benches before changing vehicles. So the Elik family opens the Tahran Hotel. Despite its remarkable modesty, the first hotel in Van provides a very different window of opportunity in the life of the Elik family.

As in every Eastern story, the Elik family begins to look for new opportunities in Istanbul. Meanwhile, Eastern culture is becoming increasingly widespread in western Turkey and almost becoming a re-discovery. For instance the fireside meal is a new culture for Istanbulites. The Istanbul adventure of the Elik family begins with Altınsis Fireside “Ocakbasi” Restaurant which they open in Cihangir.

Talimhane, the well-known district in Taksim, the home of automotive industrialists. Needless to say, Istanbul cannot leave this prime spot to automotive repairers. While they are leaving Talimhane, investors have already begun to buy land from them. Coşkun Elik, being the investor brother of the Elik family, has placed his earnings as an investment in the most valuable spot in Talimhane, awaiting the right opportunity.

Elite World Prestige, the first link in today’s Elite World chain, rises up on this land. Istanbul is now one of the most valuable travel destinations in the world. Local and foreign tourists One hundred percent occupancy… It is time for the second hotel.

Elite World Istanbul, the first 5-star hotel of the chain, opens its doors. The first 5-star hotel in Talimhane hosts thousands of guests from dozens of countries and hundreds of business meetings. The Elik family has now chosen tourism and makes all its future plans in this direction.

Van’s first 5-star hotel Elite World Van opens its doors with the involvement of Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey at that time.

The family, devoted to tourism, now carefully considers every new investment opportunity. Meanwhile, Istanbul has become one of the most important business and trade centers in the world. International congresses, fairs, meetings… ‘If Istanbul grows, you will too.’ Elite World Business, the first business-oriented hotel of the chain, opens in Florya.
