Sumahan occupies an old distillery directly on the Asian shore, with the Bosphorus filling the windows and shaping the day.

Why we would stay

Cross by ferry whenever possible. The water is not simply the view here; it is the most elegant way to arrive and depart.

The setting

Çengelköy, İstanbul is part of the pleasure here. Leave enough room in the day for the landscape, the local table and the slow route back to your room.
