Hotel

The Peninsula Istanbul

No:34 Kemankeş Caddesi, İstanbul 34425, Turkey
 

For those looking for the pinnacle of luxury, The Peninsula Istanbul is a show-stopper. Set directly on the Bosphorus waterfront in the historic Karaköy district, it is world-renowned for its beautiful, palatial rooms and impeccable service. It is located just a short 15-minute drive from our wedding venue. While we do not have a formal room block here, we highly recommend this hotel for its proximity and convenience.

Hotel

Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus

No:57-59 Kemankeş Caddesi, İstanbul 34425, Turkey
 

Located right next door to the JW Marriott, the Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus is an excellent alternative for guests who want to be in the heart of the vibrant Karaköy district. It offers a prime location and a modern, comfortable stay with more affordable room options, just 15 minutes away from our wedding venue! While we do not have a formal room block here, we recommend this hotel for its proximity and convenience.

Flight

Istanbul airport

Istanbul is served by two airports. For your convenience, we highly recommend flying into Istanbul Airport (IST). It is located on the European side and is a straightforward 45-minute drive to the Kempinski and the city center. The secondary airport, Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), is located significantly further away on the Asian side and may involve much longer travel times
