About this transfer
Arriving on the European side and booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Radisson Hotel President Old Town Istanbul transfer brings you south into Fatih. We meet you at the terminal exit with a name board and handle your luggage. Our driver takes you directly to the hotel entrance via Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
The private ride covers 54 km and usually takes about 57 minutes in regular conditions. At the quietest hours the road clears, while morning peak hours can add extra time to the trip. We monitor your flight schedule continuously, so your pickup time automatically shifts if your landing is delayed.
Going by public rail means boarding the M11 subway from the airport and transferring at Gayrettepe to the M2 line toward Vezneciler - İstanbul Üniversitesi. That journey requires navigating a transfer between lines and walking from the final stop to the hotel doors.
The HVL-13 airport shuttle departs from Peron 11 and drops passengers at Çatladıkapı (Sultanahmet). From that bus stop, reaching the reception desk still leaves a walk of 972 m with your luggage. A private vehicle brings your group straight to the door for a fixed vehicle price of €49, without sharing the space with other travelers or managing connections on foot.
