The Pera Palace Hotel stands above ground and serves as a house of refuge and of healing. It is associated with Dr. Feuerbach, who tends there such ailments as the blood-rot. To it a man may come for help, as was shown when Shehrazat, a young tiefling afflicted by a magical malady, was counselled to seek her treatment within its walls.
The hotel is bound up with the higher sort of society, being named in an invitation from Abd-ul Mejid — a token of its standing in the political landscape. The Pera Palace Hotel is known, in the main, for the care and the succour it affords those in need, and most particularly against afflictions of a magical kind.
