Sofitel Taksim, 9th floor, 13 Sıraselviler Ave., Beyoğlu

On the ninth floor of Sofitel Taksim, Nine Roof pairs its open-air terrace with a Bosphorus panorama, considered cocktails and house sets from resident DJs. Its cocktail-bar identity is clear, with the view carrying the transition from daylight into night.
