Istanbul 4th Vakıf Han, Historic office building in Eminönü district, Turkey.

The Fourth Vakıf Han spans seven floors with a steel skeleton frame, featuring an atrium and architectural elements from the Ottoman period.

French military forces utilized the incomplete structure as their barracks, naming it Caserne Victor between 1920 and 1923 during Istanbul's occupation.

The building represents the First Turkish National architectural style, designed by Kemaleddin Bey, director at the Ottoman Ministry of Foundations.

The structure underwent a transformation into the Legacy Ottoman Hotel in 2006 following a restoration project that cost 30 million Turkish lira.

Before becoming a hotel, the building housed the Istanbul Stock Exchange and numerous financial professionals until its relocation to Istinye in 1995.
