Eat & Drink

Dining in
The views alone from A’Jia’s waterside restaurant – a real treat on summer evenings – are reason enough to stay here. If it’s too cool for al fresco dining, the vista is almost as good from inside the chic restaurant. Look forward to a modern Mediterranean menu with an accent on Italian cuisine. Turkish flavours blend with Mediterranean classics to create mouth-watering mains  such as five spiced duck and caramelized rib of beef. Kick off the evening with a cocktail on the glamorous terrace bar.

Breakfast
Breakfast (considered by some the best in Istanbul) is served until midday. A'Jia's take on the traditional Turkish breakfast features a beautifully served mezze of local cheeses, olives, fruit and fresh pastries.

Room service
Available 24 hours.
