About this transfer
Arriving at the terminal and planning your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to GRAND S HOTEL transfer means travelling all the way from the Asian side to the European side of the city. Your destination sits in the Esenler district, a drive of about 67 km from the airport gates. We meet you in the arrivals hall with a name board, help with your heavy suitcases, and lead you directly to the car.
Taking the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu, our driver brings your party directly to the hotel entrance in approximately 52 minutes under normal conditions. We monitor your incoming flight before you land, so your driver is in place with free waiting time if your plane is delayed. We provide this private service at a fixed €69 for the entire vehicle rather than ticketing each passenger separately.
Public transit requires boarding the M4 subway, transferring at Ayrılık Çeşmesi onto the Marmaray, and changing again at Yenikapı to catch the M1B toward Esenler Metro İstasyonu. Managing luggage across those three rail networks involves stairs, ticket gates, and two separate train changes. You also face an additional walk from the final metro stop to the hotel doors.
The entire public route takes about 113 minutes from terminal to destination. Choosing our private vehicle eliminates every platform connection, keeping your travel party together and taking you straight to the front desk. Our driver handles the entire journey, leaving you free to settle in without navigation worries.
