Where the hotel is
Radisson Residences Vadistanbul offers apartment-style accommodation in the Vadistanbul development, away from the busier streets of central Şişli. Şişli Square and the Ara Güler Museum can be reached by car, as can the historic quarters across the Golden Horn, with Balat Ferry Pier, the Chora Mosque (Kariye) and the Tekfur Palace Museum.
Apartment stays often mean families and more luggage, so mention the ages of any children when you book. A baby seat or child seat can be added as an extra and is ready in the vehicle when the driver meets you with a name sign at Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen. If you bring pushchairs or several suitcases, check the listed luggage capacity and choose a larger vehicle.
