Sheraton Istanbul Ataköy Hotel

Istanbul · Bakirkoy · ★★★★★

A 285-room, 24-storey Sheraton set in 40,000 m² of seafront grounds in Ataköy, Bakırköy, with indoor and outdoor pools, a spa with a hammam and a top-floor club lounge. The Galleria mall and an M3 metro stop are about 100 m away, but the old city is roughly 10 km and Istanbul Airport 45 km, so it suits business trips and resort-style city breaks better than first-time sightseeing.
