Where the hotel is
Rios Edition Hotel is a boutique hotel on Kennedy Caddesi, the coastal road along the Bakırköy seafront on the European side of Istanbul, near the old airport. Carousel Shopping Mall and Galleria Ataköy Shopping Mall are a few minutes' walk away, and Ataköy A Plus Shopping Mall and Olivium Outlet Center are a short drive. The Time Hotel Marina is right next door, with CIP Hotel and Sheraton Istanbul Ataköy Hotel also a short walk away.
Istanbul traffic can be heavy, especially at rush hour, so allow extra time when you plan the return transfer. This matters most if you fly out of Sabiha Gökçen, as the route from the European side crosses a Bosphorus bridge; choose your pickup time with a generous margin.
