The Million Stone Hotel enjoys a privileged location in Sultanahmet, the heart of Istanbul's historic peninsula. This prime area, highly favored by international visitors, surrounds guests with centuries of history. Within walking distance, you'll find the iconic Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel's position near Muhterem Efendi Street provides easy access to the Grand Bazaar, Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum, and numerous authentic restaurants serving Ottoman cuisine. The area's Byzantine and Ottoman architecture creates an enchanting atmosphere, while nearby Gülhane Park offers a peaceful retreat.
Public transportation from Istanbul Airport involves taking the IST-20 airport bus to Sultanahmet, followed by a walk to the hotel. The journey typically takes 90-120 minutes depending on traffic, with buses running every 30 minutes. Managing luggage on crowded buses and navigating the final walking portion can be challenging, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules with multiple hotel stops, potentially extending journey time to over 2 hours. Limited luggage space and preset departure times may not accommodate early arrivals or late flights. The nearest shuttle drop-off point requires additional walking with luggage through Sultanahmet's historic streets.
While taxis are readily available at Istanbul Airport, journey times can vary significantly based on traffic conditions. Fares fluctuate with traffic and time of day, and vehicle conditions can be inconsistent. During peak tourist seasons, finding available taxis in Sultanahmet can be challenging.
