Tarabya has many historical buildings. Churches, hotels, foreign palaces and fountains, their history dates all the way back to the 17th century. The former residence of the Metropolitan used to be right next where the Grand Tarabya Hotel is located now. A former popular hotel, Sümer Palas, built in the 1890s was demolished in the 1950s, and a new apartment complex with the same name lies there now. Hotel d’Angleterre was also built here during the
Crimean War . Later in its place was built the
Tokatlıyan Hotel , which got burned down in 1954. The Grand Tarabya Hotel, built in its place is the only current hotel in the neighborhood, which opened in 1966. The two notable parks are: Atsushi Miyazaki Park and Şalcıkır park. Atsushi Miyazaki Park is dedicated to a Japanese volunteer in the
