The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

Located in an historic setting on the Bosphorus, Sumahan is an elegant hotel tucked into a secluded water front property, where the atmosphere is relaxed and the hospitality highly personal. Each room provides a spectacular view of the old city and the straits separating Europe from Asia.

All rooms boast marble bathrooms with windows to the rooms and on to the Bosporus, and most feature fireplaces. Room facilities include Internet access, flat screen TV’s, DVD players, and a selection of CD’s and DVD’s. The hotel features two restaurants, “Waterfront Terrace Restaurant” serving Turkish and international cuisine and “Kordon” one of Istanbul’s best seafood and fish restaurants. The hotel’s Launch has a year–round scheduled service across the Bosporus. The Launch is also available for private excursions along the Asian and European shores of the Bosporus.

Sumahan is conveniently situated for sightseeing and business meetings, and it is a five–minute walk to the village of Çengelköy, a traditional Bosporus neighbourhood of wooden houses, shops and fish restaurants.
