In the cobblestoned district of Ortaköy, at the foot of the Bosphorus Bridges, lies this 26-key boutique hotel, housed in a 19th-century Ottoman mansion, designed by the architects behind many of Istanbul’s most famous buildings. Three panoramic penthouse suites provide stunning views over the waterway, as does the hotel eatery, the Bosphorus Lounge. For those inspired to explore the great divide between Europe and Asia, the hotel has a private boat on which guests can venture out.
