Situated on Arpacilar Street, the hotel provides guests with immediate access to centuries of Turkish trading tradition and cultural heritage.

The area's rich architectural heritage, bustling streets, and vibrant atmosphere make it a highly favored destination for international travelers.
Reaching Alpek Hotel from Sabiha Gokcen Airport via public transportation requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or short walk to the hotel. This route typically takes 100-120 minutes, depending on traffic and connection times. While economical, managing luggage through various transport changes can be challenging, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate from Sabiha Gokcen Airport but require booking in advance and operate on fixed schedules. The journey involves multiple hotel stops, extending travel time significantly. Limited luggage space and preset departure times make this option less convenient for travelers with specific arrival times or substantial baggage.
Yellow taxis are available at the airport terminal, but journey times can vary significantly due to Istanbul's unpredictable traffic patterns. The 45.3 km route typically takes 60-90 minutes, with fares fluctuating based on traffic conditions. During peak hours, finding an available taxi can be challenging, and vehicle conditions may vary considerably.
