What an incredible property! The waterfront is amazing, something you will not find in ANYOTHER Istanbul hotel! The rooms are modern with acknowledgements to its historic past — it used to be a distillery! A great mix of exposed brick, steel, and wood makes for a perfect loft style room in my books. Staff is incredibly friendly and over the top helpful. Location — If you are concerned about its location consider this, Istanbul is a very busy city. VERY. Sumahan on the Water allows you to have peace in an other wise hectic place. The hotels offers a free and private water taxi(which is gorgeous!) that can take you to and from downtown Istanbul. It really is a perfect fit. For a full review I did see here: Shaun
