Galata Galata Galata (in Greek was known as Galatas (Γαλατᾶς, "Galatás")) was a neighbourhood opposite Constantinople (today's Istanbul, Turkey), located at the northern shore of the Golden Horn, the inlet which separates it from the historic peninsula of old Constantinople. The Golden Horn is crossed by several bridges, most notably the Galata Bridge. The medieval citadel of Galata was a colony of the Republic of Genoa between 1273 and 1453. The famous Galata Tower was built by the Genoese in 1348 at the northernmost and highest point of the citadel. At present, Galata is a quarter within the borough of Beyoğlu
The Landmark London was followed by several of the railway hotels it later returned to its original use, as demand for luxury hotels in London grew and the city centre expanded in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The building was purchased by a Japanese company in 1986 and reopened as a hotel in 1993, under the name of The Regent, London. In 1995, it was purchased by the Lancaster Landmark Hotel Company Limited, and renamed The Landmark London. The Landmark Group is a Thai company which opened a hotel called The Landmark in 1987 and owns several other hotels in London.
