The hotel and its location
Le Méridien Istanbul Etiler is a city hotel in Etiler, on a motorway service road between the Levent business district and the Bosphorus shore on Istanbul's European side. Levent Mosque, Kanyon Shopping Mall and the ferry piers at Rumeli Hisarı and Emirgan are each a short drive away. The nearest neighbouring property is Akmerkez Residence, with Hyatt Centric Levent Istanbul a little further towards Levent.
If your dates are already fixed, book the return to the airport at the same time as the arrival. The pickup at the hotel is then arranged in advance, the fixed price applies to both legs, and free cancellation means you can still adjust the plan if your schedule changes.
