On Çırağan Caddesi
Four Seasons gives the address as Çırağan Caddesi No 28 in Beşiktaş. Its press facts describe the building as a 19th-century palace built as a secondary residence near the Sultan’s summer palace on the Bosphorus, converted into a Four Seasons hotel in 2008. Its brochure places it on Istanbul’s waterfront.
The hotel sits on the shore road, a short distance along from Çırağan Palace. The car stops at the entrance on the shore road, and the driver brings the bags in with you.
Not the Sultanahmet Four Seasons
Four Seasons runs a sister hotel in Sultanahmet in the Old City, about 20 minutes away by car according to the company. Both are on the European side and both cost €50 from Istanbul Airport, but the drivers need to know which one you mean. Write "at the Bosphorus" or "Beşiktaş" in the booking.
Fares from both airports
- IST → Four Seasons at the Bosphorus: €50 Eco Van · €60 Vito · €65 V-Class · €80 Sprinter.
- SAW → Four Seasons at the Bosphorus: €70 Eco Van · €80 Vito · €85 V-Class · €100 Sprinter.
Sabiha Gökçen is the closer airport in minutes, about 29 minutes and roughly 40 km on an empty road, but it is on the Asian side, so the ride crosses the Bosphorus and the cross-side fare applies. All fares are for the vehicle, fixed, and the same at night.
