About this transfer

Arriving on the European side of the city and heading toward Beyoğlu means traveling roughly 50 km south from the terminal. Booking our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Les Temps İstanbul Karaköy, Curio Collection by Hilton transfer means we meet you right at the arrivals exit with your name on a board. We help with your luggage and drive you straight down the D-020.

Driving directly to the hotel takes around 49 minutes under normal conditions. Traffic can shift through the day, extending the trip during morning peaks around 08:00 or running faster in the early hours. Regardless of delays, we track your flight and include waiting time at the airport.

Public transit requires riding the M11 metro to Gayrettepe and switching to the M2 line toward Şişhane. That journey takes 81 minutes and leaves you with an uphill walk or another connection to reach Karaköy. The airport shuttle bus runs to Şişhane 6, which still leaves a walk to the property.

Our private service takes your group directly to the hotel door with no transfers or luggage dragging. You pay a fixed price for the entire vehicle rather than buying separate fares for every passenger and bag.
