Where the hotel is
Element Pera Residence is an apart-hotel on Tarlabaşı Bulvarı in Beyoğlu, close to the Taksim end of İstiklal Avenue. İstiklal is a few minutes' walk away, and the Pera Museum, the Museum of Innocence and Taksim Square are within a short walk. Galata Tower and Istanbul Modern are a short drive. Close neighbours include Corner Suites Taksim, Aria Palace Taksim Hotel and Mercure Istanbul Taksim.
Add your flight number when you book. Because the flight is tracked, your driver adjusts the pick-up time if you land early or late and waits for you in arrivals with a name sign. That means no rush at baggage reclaim and no worry about missing your car after a delay, even if immigration takes a while.
