The series does not shy away from the tragedy of the era, including the poignant references to the Armenian and Greek populations who were forced to flee. It is a heavy watch at times, but the emotional weight is balanced by thrilling chase scenes through the Grand Bazaar and elegant ballroom dances.

The keyword you searched for includes reference to a "drive," but in this case, the real drive is the hotel's elevator. Built in 1892, the Pera Palace was the first building in the Ottoman Empire to have electric lights and the first in Istanbul to have running hot water.
