The hotel and its location
Richmond Hotel Istanbul is a city hotel right on İstiklal Avenue, at its Asmalı Mescit end in the heart of Beyoğlu. The Pera Museum, the Museum of Innocence and Galata Tower are a few minutes' walk away, and Istanbul Modern and the Karaköy Ferry Pier can also be reached with a short walk downhill. Tomtom Suites, The Marmara Pera and Soho House Istanbul are among the nearest hotels.
İstiklal Avenue, where Richmond Hotel Istanbul stands, is pedestrianised, so vehicles cannot pull up at the entrance. Your driver drops you at the nearest accessible side street, and from there it is a short walk to the hotel. If you are travelling with wheeled suitcases, it is worth keeping that final stretch in mind.
