Kaleici has the most beautiful examples of Antalya Houses and structures from Roman, Seljuk, Ottoman and Republic eras. Cedrus Hotel is one of the Republic Era Kaleici Houses.The building is estimated to have been in the late 19th century. The first owner of the mansion Tevfik Isık was the person who set up the first power plant in Antalya at the request of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who then gave this mansion to Tevfik Isık and his family as a gift. Before becoming a hotel, the building was used as a museum.The hotel is located right next to the historical Broken Minaret (Kesik Minare) and the Hidirlik Tower and Harian's Gate is only a couple minutes' walk away. The hotel is approximately 600m from the marina and 11 km from the Antalya International Airport.The mansion has been restored to its original in 2019 and since then it has been operating as a hotel with its 10 rooms.
