Sumahan on the Water Hotel Istanbul

Located on the Asian side of Istanbul, the hotel enjoys a unique waterfront location on the Bosphorus, just outside the village of Çengelköy where attractive wooden houses, fish restaurants and seaside promenades can be found and where a sense of the authentic Bosphorus neighbourhood is still preserved. Links to the public transport network are within around 150m. Once a derelict alcohol factory, this sophisticated waterfront hotel has remained with the same family since the original building was built in the 19th century. Voted one of the world's best new hotels by an international travel magazine, the decor is contemporary and the design uses wood, marble, steel and brick.
