About this transfer
Landing on the European side puts you a good distance out from Beyoğlu, where your hotel is located. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Lokalist, Istanbul, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel transfer in advance means having our driver ready at the terminal the moment you walk through arrivals with your bags. We meet you with a name board and lead you straight to the vehicle.
The road run covers 50 km along the D-020, bringing you directly to the hotel entrance. A clear run takes 48 minutes, which avoids the delays that come with changing vehicles along the route. We also track your flight incoming, so our driver adjusts for any unexpected landing times before you step off the plane.
Public transport requires switching from the M11 subway to the DT1 bus at Gayrettepe Metro before you reach the Taksim area. That route involves handling your own luggage across platforms and completing the final walk on foot. The HVL - 9 airport shuttle also stops at Taksim, which still leaves a short walk to the property.
Choosing our private vehicle gives your entire group a direct drive to the door from €46. Public options price their tickets per person and per bag, whereas our rate covers the whole vehicle. We handle your luggage at both ends of the trip so you arrive at the hotel ready to check in.
