A'jia Hotel
Style Contemporary Ottoman
Setting Banks of the Bosphorus
An ex-pasha’s mansion on the Bosphorus, A'jia boutique hotel on the edge of Istanbul has a grand Ottoman exterior that belies its contemporary interior of slick modern design. There’s not a kilim or belly-dancer’s tassel in sight, just chic white-on-white glamour. The understated, modern luxury extends to the sparse, cool bedrooms. Almost as big as the rooms themselves, A'jia Hotel's bathrooms are gorgeous Ottoman chambers of creamy marble and tile.

Our favourite rooms
Ask for a room with a view of the Bosphorus and/or a private balcony. Room 10 is a duplex with sitting room downstairs and bedroom upstairs, and a bathtub right next to the bed. Room 8 has a huge balcony that gives you the feeling you own the place… and beautiful views over the Bosphorus. Room 9 is spacious, with a sitting-room area and a bathtub beneath a sea-view window.
Packing tips
A scarf or hat to keep your hair nice during windy trips across the Bosphorus. A light jacket or jumper in case it's windy when you're lunching on the terrace.
From the Guestbook…
Great hotel room and service. A great way to see Istanbul is to go on a walking gastronomic tour of the city, using Istanbul Eats (http://istanbuleats.com), definitely worth it.
