Where the hotel is
At the top of Tak-ı Zafer Caddesi in Gümüşsuyu, The Marmara Taksim is a city hotel at the edge of Taksim Square, the centre of modern Istanbul. The square itself is a few minutes' walk away, and the road down the hill leads with a short walk to the Dolmabahçe Clock Tower and the Kabataş Ferry Pier. Taxim Hill Hotel, Taksim Square Hotel and Point Hotel Taksim are among its nearest neighbours.
Several hotels around here have names that are easy to mix up, and Trinktaxi also serves The Marmara Pera in Beyoğlu. When booking, enter The Marmara Taksim exactly as written on this page, so your driver takes you to Tak-ı Zafer Caddesi and not to the sister address across the district.
