About this transfer
Landing on the European side and heading towards Şişli puts you on the road across the city. Booking your Istanbul Airport (IST) to The St. Regis Istanbul transfer in advance means our driver greets you at the terminal with a name board, takes care of your luggage, and drives you straight to the entrance.
Driving through D-020 avoids public interchanges entirely. The private route covers 46 km, taking around 47 minutes under normal conditions. We track your flight details before you land and adjust your pickup for any delay, including free waiting time after touchdown.
Getting to Şişli on public transport requires boarding the M11 subway to Gayrettepe, switching lines to the 30A bus towards Maçka Democracy Park, and finishing on foot. Between the transfer and walking, the public transit journey takes 72 minutes.
The HVL - 9 airport shuttle terminates at Taksim, which leaves a final walk or local ride to reach the hotel. When you travel with us, our fixed price starts from €42 for the vehicle, delivering your group and luggage directly to the hotel lobby without line transfers along the way.
