The hotel and its location
Avantgarde Hotel Taksim is a city hotel on Büyükdere Caddesi in Esentepe, part of the Levent business district on Istanbul's European side, despite the Taksim in its name. Zorlu Center, Zincirlikuyu Mosque and Levent Park are a few minutes' walk away, and Kanyon Shopping Mall and Levent Mosque can also be reached on foot. Mecidiyeköy Square is a short drive. Neighbouring hotels include Febor Park İstanbul Levent Hotel, Hyatt Centric Levent Istanbul and Point Hotel Barbaros.
Because the name mentions Taksim, check that your booking shows the Esentepe address on Büyükdere Caddesi. Your driver then heads straight to the right door, and since this is a private door-to-door transfer, there is no need to explain the route after a long flight.
