Hayrettin İskelesi Sokak
Shangri-La lists the hotel at Sinanpaşa Mahallesi, Hayrettin İskelesi Sokak 1, Beşiktaş. The street is near the Beşiktaş waterfront and ferry piers, between the Dolmabahçe shore and the centre of Beşiktaş with its market streets.
Beşiktaş centre is crowded around the piers, and some streets close to the water are pedestrian. The van approaches the hotel entrance by road and the driver walks the last metres with you if needed.
Fares to Shangri-La
- From Istanbul Airport to Shangri-La Bosphorus: €50 Eco Van, €60 Vito, €65 V-Class, €80 Sprinter.
- From Sabiha Gökçen to Shangri-La Bosphorus: €70 Eco Van, €80 Vito, €85 V-Class, €100 Sprinter.
The SAW leg is shorter in time, roughly 30 minutes and 40 km on an empty road, but it starts on the Asian side and has to cross the Bosphorus. That is what the €70 fare pays for. Each price covers the vehicle, not each person.
Meeting at the airport
Come out through the exit door you reach after baggage reclaim; your driver waits right at that door with a printed name sign. Because we track the flight, an early or late arrival is no problem, and there is no charge for waiting on a delay.
Payment and changes
You pay the fare to the driver at the hotel, never online. Euros, pounds or Turkish lira in cash, or Visa or Mastercard by card: every car has a terminal and contactless works. If plans change, cancel at any time for free.
Golf bags, pushchairs and folding wheelchairs travel free, vehicle size permitting; add them to the booking with the suitcase count.
To your flight from Beşiktaş
The driver collects you at the hotel at the time you choose. Istanbul Airport is about 40 km and Sabiha Gökçen about 39 km from here on a free road, but traffic around Beşiktaş and on the bridge approaches is heavy at rush hour. Book the return with your arrival for €100 (IST) or €140 (SAW) in an Eco Van.
