This converted distillery, dating from 1875, enjoys a fabulous waterfont setting in Çengelköy, a sleepy fishing village way off the tourist radar. The far-flung location can be an asset or annoyance, depending on whether you want to kick back and enjoy the luxurious amenities, or get to the centre of town in a hurry. The architect owners have created polished contemporary interiors featuring grey marble, exposed stonework, and picture windows with extraordinary views of mosques and minarets shimmering beyond the Bosphorus bridge. Many rooms come with mini-hamams. Kordonbalik restaurant dishes up superlative seafood - at a price.
