About this transfer
Arriving on the Asian side and planning your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Empire Suite Hotel İstanbul transfer means travelling over to Fatih on the European side. We meet you at arrivals with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you along the Anadolu Otoyolu directly to the hotel entrance.
The full journey covers 60 km from the terminal to the historic peninsula. When roads are clear, our drivers make the trip in 58 minutes, crossing between the two continents without intermediate stops. During the morning peak, heavy traffic along the main corridors can extend that same drive to 77 minutes.
If you choose the rails instead, the journey involves the M4 subway down to Ayrılık Çeşmesi followed by the B1 Marmaray across to Sirkeci. While that rail station sits just metres from the hotel, managing luggage through train platforms and a transfer takes 80 minutes from the airport concourse.
We track your incoming flight so our driver is ready at the terminal when you exit, even if your plane lands behind schedule. Choosing a private vehicle means your entire party travels together, with one fixed rate that covers the group all the way to the hotel door.
