Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel  

Set in Bakırköy on Istanbul’s European side, this 5-star hotel sits close to the Istanbul Aquarium and offers easy access to Istanbul Airport, the Expo Center and major motorways. It’s roughly a 15-minute drive to the Blue Mosque, Mall of Istanbul and convenient for trips into the old city, Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia.

Sophisticated yet comfortable rooms with signature bedding and modern touches set the tone. Rooms include minibars, flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi‑Fi and private bathrooms with tubs or showers; deluxe rooms add coffee/tea setups, slippers and desks.

Wake up to Marmara Sea views from the hotel bar and unwind at a full spa offering massages, facials and body treatments. Swim in indoor and seasonal outdoor pools (children’s pool on site), keep fit with a gym, tennis court and yoga area, or relax in the sauna, steam room and traditional hamam—family-friendly facilities included.

Built for meetings and events, the property offers a business center, 13 meeting rooms and a conference complex that can host up to 1,200 guests. High-speed internet and on-site catering/wedding services make it a smart pick for corporate stays.

Savour Mediterranean dishes at Daphne Restaurant Grill or grab snacks and coffee at the café; 24-hour room service is available. Enjoy drinks at the bar and poolside bar, and start the day with a buffet breakfast served each morning for a fee.
