Where the hotel is
The Bostancı Hotel is a city hotel on Mehmet Şevki Paşa Caddesi in Bostancı, on Istanbul's Asian side close to the Marmara shore. Bostancı Ferry Pier, Kozzy Shopping Center and the Fikret Otyam Museum are a short drive away, and Küçükyalı Archaeological Park is not much further. Rhiss Hotel Bostancı is a few minutes' walk away, with Dedeman Bostancı Hotel & Convention Center and The Hera Bostancı Otel also nearby.
After a long flight, a private door-to-door transfer spares you the taxi queue and any change of transport with luggage. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name and takes you straight to the hotel entrance, whichever of the two airports you land at.
