Friday Photos: Bosphorus Views from the A'jia Hotel, Istanbul

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more magical setting in Istanbul. From your balcony in a former pasha's mansion on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, the views are striking. A'jia Hotel has only 16 guest rooms, ensuring the ultimate in personalized service, and all rooms are dressed in a sleek, contemporary style and outfitted with cutting-edge technology. No wonder A'jia is such a prized address.

A'jia has a lovely restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. After a day of sightseeing, relax with a massage in-room while watching the boats glide by on the Bosphorus. Nice perk: The complimentary boat shuttle that cruises between the continents and bypasses Istanbul's traffic.
