As the season turns warm and festive inside Aliée, the world just beyond our doors comes alive with Tersane Istanbul Winter Town. Lights, music and winter flavors fill the historic dockyard, creating a vibrant atmosphere that mirrors the curiosity and creative spirit of House of Curious Minds.

Aliée brings movement into the art of living. Through Well+ Active, guests join curated sessions of yoga, sound healing, and performance training designed for balance and renewal. Beyond the studios, the Golden Horn itself becomes part of the experience—rowing sessions on its shimmering waters connect body, breath, and the city’s timeless rhythm.

At Aliée, art is not confined to galleries—it is part of every detail. From carefully selected works adorning the rooms to installations that animate shared spaces, each piece has been curated to create a dialogue between heritage and contemporary creativity. The Courtyard Gallery serves as the heart of this vision, hosting rotating exhibitions and cultural encounters that bring together international artists and Istanbul’s creative spirit. For our guests, every stay becomes an immersion in a living collection—where discovery continues at every turn.
