Hotel Bosnalı

Eastern Mediterranean


Housed in a mansion built by a rich immigrant in 1889, the 12-room 'Bosnian' is all stone-tile floors, hand-carved wooden ceilings and antique Ottoman furnishings. The city views from the rooftop terrace restaurant are lovely, but recent change in management has seen a noticeable drop in service. Bring a translator.
