Istanbul

Sumahan on the Water

We are delighted to include the very special Sumahan on the Water in our Istanbul collection. Its prime location on the banks of the Bosphorus provides uninterrupted views over the water (indeed The Guardian included Sumahan as the only hotel when listing Istanbul's five best waterside views), and its style and service are second to none.  (Show more)

 

Combine this with its intimate size (just twenty four luxurious rooms) and family-run ambience and we believe we have found the perfect Istanbul fit for the Exclusive Escapes philosophy. 

The Sumahan is a wonderful renovation of an old distillery, and the architect’s keen eye is evident in both the tasteful design and well-retained character of the original building.  Its superb position on the Bosphorus affords sweeping views looking across the water from the Asian side back to the European heart of the city.  

Every aspect of the hotel maximises the impact of those far-reaching views.

Guests can mull the meandering boats and tall sailing ships from the hotel’s rooms, the waterside restaurant and the various terraces, all of which give an equally impressive view of life on the Bosphorus.

With the water on its doorstep, the hotel has its very own launch to whisk guests off to explore the European side, before transporting them back in style at the end of a day’s adventure.  The boat service seems essentially to provide your very own private tour of the Bosphorus, and is quite simply the most fun way to travel in Istanbul.

The bedrooms at the Sumahan are furnished stylishly, with floor to ceiling windows providing expansive views over the Bosphorus. 

A stunning 5 star boutique hotel which is top of the wish-list for all our Guests in Istanbul.
