Entrance of Divan Hotel Istanbul
During the 2013 protests in Turkey it opened to injured protestors as well as those fleeing police attacks. During the night of 15/16 June, police repeatedly tear-gassed the lobby.[3][4][5][6][7][8] As a result, according to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the hotel had helped criminals.[9]
