Kemankeş Caddesi in Karaköy
Marriott lists the hotel on Kemankeş Caddesi in Karaköy, Beyoğlu, and describes the neighbourhood as eclectic. Kemankeş Caddesi is the street just inland from the Karaköy waterfront and the Galataport cruise terminal, on the European side.
The street carries a lot of traffic heading for the bridges and the waterfront. The van stops briefly at the hotel entrance to unload.
Karaköy has several large new hotels within a few hundred metres, including The Peninsula and 10 Karaköy. Write the full hotel name in your booking so the driver heads for the right door on the first try.
Fares from IST and SAW
- Istanbul Airport → JW Marriott Bosphorus: Eco Van €50, Vito €60, V-Class €65, Sprinter €80.
- Sabiha Gökçen → JW Marriott Bosphorus: Eco Van €70, Vito €80, V-Class €85, Sprinter €100.
IST is on the European side with Karaköy; SAW is on the Asian side, so from there the ride crosses the Bosphorus. That leg is about 43 km and about 36 minutes when the roads are clear. All fares are per vehicle and fixed when you book.
For travellers arriving on business
If a colleague or client is travelling, book in their name and give a phone number they can be reached on after landing. The driver holds that name on a printed sign right at the exit door the traveller walks out of. For a team, a V-Class (€65 from IST) keeps everyone in one vehicle with room for luggage.
Night arrivals at Karaköy
Landing late changes nothing for the price. The fare does not change at night, dispatch is open around the clock and waiting for a delayed landing is free. Karaköy’s streets are quieter after midnight, so the last part of the trip is usually quicker than in the daytime.
Departure from the hotel
The return drive from the hotel is about 40 km to Istanbul Airport and about 42 km to Sabiha Gökçen on a clear road. Send your flight time and we suggest when the driver should come, leaving room for rush hour and the check-in times your airline asks for.
