Crowne Plaza Istanbul Florya Hotel | Premium Stay
Highly-rated stays with spa, pools, and close to attractions
Why we love it
The setting
The Crowne Plaza Istanbul Florya sits right on the Sea of Marmara shoreline in the Florya district, on the European side of the city. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby look out over the water, and a seafront promenade runs past the grounds for walks at sunset. It is set away from the old-town crowds, about 15 km west of the historic peninsula, so you get quiet evenings by the sea with the main sights still within reach by road or rail.
What to expect
Rooms are calm and modern, with dark timber headboards, soft lighting and large windows that pull in daylight. The spa and wellness floor includes an indoor pool, while an outdoor pool with shaded cabanas opens onto the garden in warmer months. There is a poolside terrace restaurant, a marble-floored lobby lounge and a bright breakfast room with a live omelette and pizza-oven station. Service draws steady praise from guests who have stayed here.
Things to do nearby
Florya Gunes Beach is a 1.2 km stroll along the shore. The DTM Istanbul Fair Centre is 3.4 km away, handy if you are in town for an event, and Yenibosna is around 4 km inland. The historic core takes a little longer to reach: the Grand Bazaar is about 15 km east, with the Blue Mosque and Spice Bazaar close to it. The metro at the former Ataturk airport site, 2.4 km away, links you toward the centre.
Best for
Couples and travellers who want a seafront base with a spa and pools, slightly removed from the city rush but still connected to Istanbul's main sights by road and metro.
