While writing an article about the 130th anniversary of the famous Pera Palace Hotel and its rich history, Esra accidentally time travels to 1919 – and quickly finds herself in the middle of a political conspiracy when she discovers a plot that could change the future of Turkey.
If you love time travel shows, Midnight at the Pera Palace puts a unique spin on the genre. On the one hand, it’s a portal fantasy, on the other, it’s an epic impossible love story spanning across time.
The time travel rules also make the love story between Esra and Halit seemingly impossible and simultaneously mesmerizing because of it.

Overall, the actors do a fine job in the roles, and the costumes are pretty – although imperfect, the production quality is high (but not the highest), the romance appealing, and the writing clever.
