The Emporium Hotel Istanbul occupies a strategic position in Beyazıt, one of the most historically significant districts of Istanbul's Old City. Situated near the iconic Grand Bazaar and major cultural landmarks, the hotel provides convenient access to the area's rich Ottoman heritage. The journey from Sabiha Gokcen Airport crosses the Asian side of Istanbul, offering scenic views across the Bosphorus Bridge before entering the historical peninsula. The route typically takes 50-75 minutes, varying with traffic conditions, particularly during rush hours on the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) and coastal roads.
Public transportation from Sabiha Gokcen Airport requires multiple transfers. The journey starts with the HAVABUS to Kadıköy, followed by a ferry crossing to Eminönü, and finally a tram or bus to Beyazıt. This complex route takes approximately 2 hours and can be challenging with luggage, especially during peak hours.
Shared shuttle services operate on fixed schedules between Sabiha Gokcen Airport and the Old City area. However, these services involve multiple hotel stops, potentially extending journey times beyond 2.5 hours. Advanced booking is required, and early morning or late-night availability is limited.
While taxis are available at Sabiha Gokcen Airport, journey costs can vary significantly based on traffic and route selection. During peak hours, finding a taxi willing to make the cross-continental journey may be challenging, and language barriers can complicate communication about the specific hotel location in Beyazıt.
