Where the hotel is
Blue Life Hotel is found on a quiet side street in the Kahramanlar neighbourhood. The southern edge of Kültürpark is a short walk from the hotel, and Basmane Railway Station is a few minutes away on foot. That puts you close to the park for an afternoon outdoors and close to the trains for trips beyond the city. Armis Hotel, TK Residence İzmir Konak and Ramses Hotel are nearby.
Kültürpark hosts fairs and other events during the year, and on those days traffic in the surrounding streets picks up noticeably. When planning your return transfer, start from the recommended departure time shown on the page and add a little extra margin during event periods. The driver collects you at the hotel door for a fixed price.
