Where the hotel is
Lion City Hotel Istanbul is a city hotel on Turgut Özal Caddesi in the Pınartepe neighbourhood of Büyükçekmece, on Istanbul's far west side. Gürpınar Public Beach is a short drive away, as are Perlavista Shopping Mall, Istanbul Outlet Park, the Endem TV Tower and the historic Kurşunlu Han caravanserai in Büyükçekmece. The hotel sits a little apart from the Beylikdüzü hotel cluster, in a quieter setting closer to the coast.
