This boutique hotel offers easy access to Istanbul's vibrant cultural scene, nestled in the heart of Beyoglu's historic streets. The journey from Galataport Istanbul spans approximately 2.5 kilometers through the culturally rich neighborhoods of Karaköy and Galata.
The route from Galataport cruise terminal follows the historic waterfront, passing by Istanbul Modern and the revitalized port district. The journey typically takes 10-15 minutes, though this can extend to 20-25 minutes during peak traffic hours.
