The hotel and its location
Mercure Istanbul Altunizade is a city hotel in Altunizade, within the Üsküdar district on Istanbul's Asian side. Its immediate neighbour is Altunizade Suites Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton, a few steps along the same street. A short drive takes you to the Atik Valide Mosque and on to the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque near the Üsküdar waterfront, while Kuzguncuk Ferry Pier, Beylerbeyi Palace and Çamlıca Tower are also a short drive away.
For business trips, the transfer runs on a fixed price agreed at booking, with no meter running in city traffic, and you pay in the vehicle at the end of the ride. If your departure date is set, book the return to Sabiha Gökçen or Istanbul Airport at the same time, so your hotel pickup is arranged with your arrival.
