Hotel description
The Sumahan On The Water is situated on the Asian side of Istanbul, right on the shores of the Bosphorus. Its fantastic location alone would be reason enough to book a stay here. But this small luxury hotel has plenty more to offer, including 11 double rooms and 13 wonderful suites (all with water views), an excellent tapas restaurant and a traditional hammam bath. But above all it’s got style! This exclusive boutique hotel is housed in a converted distillery that once produced Suma - the fig brandy, from which the popular Raki is made. A hotel since 2005, its airy rooms with high ceilings and large windows are the perfect place for a really romantic stay.
Design hotel: Stylish comfort in an old factory setting
The old factory setting lends the Sumahan On The Water an atmosphere that is anything but ordinary. With clean lines and pastel colors, the modern interior design emphasizes the industrial character of the rooms. Comfy upholstered furniture, elegant wooden floors and a fireplace in most rooms make for a really relaxed stay.
City hotel: Top location & shuttle boat to the center
In many respects the Sumahan On The Water is also perfect for tracing the character of this Turkish metropolis. Accommodation with views over the Bosphorus, the most important symbol of the city, is a rarity. But here you get it in every room and suite. If you want to head into the center of the European side of the city, the hotel has its own water taxi. On a regular schedule the boat leaves the little jetty which used to be the spot where figs were delivered.
5 star hotel: Outstanding service & romantic duplex suites
In addition to an exceptional location you can also expect exclusive guest services to equal any large luxury hotel. The competent service team is available around the clock. A daily turndown service, transport by shuttle boat and daily afternoon tea come as standard. But you can also tailor the services to your individual needs, for example when it comes to dinner reservations in town or looking for a suitable guide. One of the most exclusive room options is the two-story loft suite with access to the garden, fireplace and luxury bathroom with tub.
Food & drink: Tapas & fine Mediterranean cuisine
The dining at the Sumahan On The Water includes a gourmet restaurant with Turkish-Mediterranean cuisine. The menu features hot and cold tapas, fine Mediterranean dishes and some desserts. Pick a wine to go with dinner from the comprehensive wine list. The best place to enjoy your meal is on the lakeside terrace watching the passing fishing boats and floating bars against the background of the skyline on the western shore. With a bit of luck, you might also see a dolphin or two - surprisingly some actually live in the strait. If you’re eating out then it doesn’t have to be on the European side. There are several good restaurants just a walk away.
Leisure & sport: Fitness & hammam
For a holiday workout there’s a well-equipped fitness room with cardio equipment and free weights. Afterwards you can relax in a stylish authentic Turkish Hammam. The steam room can be exclusively booked for 45 minutes. Massages can also be individually arranged.
Location: Waterfront property with panoramic views
The Sumahan On The Water is situated right on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus in the Cengelkoy district. The views from the windows and the restaurant terrace sweep across the water to the European side and over the bridge which looks pretty impressive lit up at night.
