Esinti Hotel (Bozcaada, Turkey)

About Esinti Hotel

Bozcaada… Life on Bozcaada is shaped by the wind: The prevailing northeasters bring abundance while the southwesters bring heat. To live on Bozcaada is to live with the wind: From one day to the next you keep track of its direction and force while its relentlessness inspires feelings of perpetual motion. Esinti Otel consists of just eight rooms located in Arkadeniz in the Greek district of Bozcaada’s main town plus a cottage in the locale known as Amerikan Çeşme. Each of the eight rooms in town is named after one of the cardinal and intercardinal winds and is decorated with a painting that depicts the wind’s identity and was done by Cemil Onay, a local artist known as “The man who paints the wind”. Each room’s key tag was individually designed by Zeynep Aksu in her glass studio on the island. Conceptually harmonious glass tiles in the bathrooms are by Karo İstanbul. Architectural design and construction work was done by Fanari Mimarlık, a local architectural practice that’s authored many creative works on the island.
