Süzer Plaza, Elmadağ
Marriott lists the hotel at Süzer Plaza, Asker Ocağı Caddesi No 6, in Elmadağ, Şişli. Elmadağ is the slope between Taksim Square and the Dolmabahçe shore, on the European side.
Asker Ocağı Caddesi is a short avenue off the main roads around Taksim. The van drives to the hotel entrance, where the driver unloads with you.
Two other large hotels, Grand Hyatt Istanbul and Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus, are a few minutes away in the same corner of Şişli, and Taksim Square is close enough to walk. Make sure the booking says The Ritz-Carlton so the driver goes to Süzer Plaza and not to a neighbour.
