Transportation Options

Public Transport

While public transportation is available from Istanbul Airport through the HAVAIST bus service to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel, this option can be challenging with luggage. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic and involves multiple transfers. The nearest bus stop requires a 10-minute walk through narrow streets to reach the hotel.

Airport Shuttle

Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops throughout the historic peninsula. This option requires advance booking and can take up to 2.5 hours due to numerous pickup points. Limited luggage space and fixed departure times may not accommodate all travel schedules.

Taxi

Standard taxis are available at Istanbul Airport's official taxi stands. The journey typically takes 60-90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
