Meet Sevil Delin

Mother of two and founder of Momcierge

Launched in Istanbul in December 2013, Hotel Momcierge provides babysittingrental kids' equipment, and other services such as family tour guides, photographers and portable WiFi hotspots to any location in Istanbul. On our website, you can also find specially selected tips on things to do with kids in Istanbul based on our own experience as a family.

 

Hotel Momcierge was established by Sevil Delin, a half-Turkish, half-American travel writer and—most importantly—mother of two young sons living in Istanbul. The daughter and granddaughter of hoteliers, Sevil grew up in Hilton, Sheraton and Mandarin Oriental hotels in Turkey, Egypt, and Hong Kong. After studying at Oxford University, she became a travel writer based in Istanbul. She is the editor and author of the Louis Vuitton City Guide to Istanbul, and also writes about the city for Condé Nast Traveller, Monocle, The Guardian and Wallpaper. Her memoir essay about visiting Turkey as a child was published by Granta.

 

Sevil's experience as a mother travelling with a child inspired her to create the world's first comprehensive ‘family travel concierge’.
