Key Hotel

The wraparound rooftop terrace is visible from the waterfront long before you walk through the door, which is one way to make an entrance. This is a luxury boutique hotel in Izmir's Konak district, done in the crisp-edged, neutral-toned register of a good Italian urban property. Rooms come with rain showers and cotton-satin linens, the suites claim the top floor, and the lobby moonlights as a quiet bar and library when you need both at once.
