Crown Plaza Istanbul | Old City, Modern Luxury ✨
Highly-rated stays close to attractions with spa, pools, and airport access
Why we love it
The setting
Crowne Plaza Florya sits on the Marmara coast on the European side of Istanbul, with the sea on its doorstep and a long waterfront promenade running past the grounds. The setting is quieter than the old city, so you swap the crowds for sea air, sunset views and easy walks along the shore. The historic peninsula and the Grand Bazaar are a drive away rather than a stroll, which suits travellers who want a calm base and don't mind a short trip into the centre.
What to expect
The hotel leans into its seafront position. There are indoor and outdoor pools, a children's pool, and shaded cabanas lined up along the water. The spa runs a sauna, steam room and a traditional hammam, with massages charged separately. Rooms come with a TV, mini-bar and bathrobe, and breakfast is served each morning. A fitness room and on-site dining round things out, and airport transfers can be arranged for an extra fee.
Things to do nearby
Florya Gunes Beach is about 1.2 km away along the coast, and Istanbul Airport at Florya is roughly 2.4 km from the door. The DTM Istanbul Fair Centre sits around 3.4 km away for anyone here on business, and Yenibosna is about 4.1 km out. The Grand Bazaar and the main sights of the old city are around 15 km away, reached by car or public transport when you want a day among the monuments.
Best for
Couples and solo travellers after a calm seafront base with pools and a spa, who are happy to travel into the old city for sightseeing rather than stay in the thick of it.
