Levent at a glance

Levent is one of Istanbul's main business and financial districts, with skyscrapers rising along Büyükdere Avenue. Bank and holding company headquarters, offices of international firms and business hotels are concentrated along this axis. Shopping centres such as Kanyon and Metrocity, as well as Istanbul Sapphire, are among the area's well-known buildings, while the older residential streets of Levent offer a quieter setting just behind the towers.

Most office towers and mixed-use complexes in Levent have several entrances, car-park ramps and security points. Writing the building or hotel name in your booking, and if possible the entrance you would like to use, makes the meeting easier. If you are heading to the airport straight from a meeting, remember to add your flight number.
