• The hotel draws inspiration from Istanbul’s heritage and modern character, while also introducing Hilton’s global dining brand OXBO to Türkiye for the first time.

Hilton Istanbul Airport opens its doors today, redefining the airport hospitality experience by combining the convenience of an airport location with Hilton's iconic hospitality. The 485-room hotel is the latest addition to the growing Hilton Hotels & Resorts portfolio, marking the 100th Hilton hotel in Türkiye, and is ideally positioned as the first internationally branded hotel next to the airport grounds in Türkiye.

Hilton Istanbul Airport offers a calm, contemporary retreat just steps away from one of the world’s busiest terminals and combines seamless convenience, thoughtful design, and authentic local touches that make every journey memorable. Guests can enjoy spacious rooms and suites with runway views, destination-inspired dining, a fully equipped fitness and wellness centre, and versatile meeting spaces - all supported by the reliability of Hilton service and the rewards of Hilton Honors.

The design of Hilton Istanbul Airport takes inspiration from the unique character of Istanbul, blending the city's rich heritage with its vibrant modern energy. Throughout the hotel, guests will discover interiors that reflect the colours, textures and atmosphere of the city. The design draws from the timeless charm of Istanbul’s historic neighbourhoods, the sleek elegance of its skyline and the ever-changing hues of the Marmara Sea and expansive skies.

Natural stone, warm metallic finishes and luxurious fabrics come together to create welcoming, elegant spaces that feel both modern and unmistakably connected to their surroundings. The hotel captures the spirit of Istanbul through carefully chosen materials, light and texture, creating a stylish and relaxing stay that celebrates the city's distinctive sense of place.

Hilton’s global dining brand, OXBO, proudly makes its debut in Türkiye. Operating across three separate venues as a restaurant, café, and 24-hour bar, OXBO promises a journey of world-class flavours through its locally sourced ingredients and masterfully crafted menus. Designed for social connection, the food and drink brand invites guests to experience authentic local flavours in an atmosphere that evokes the feeling of home, from dawn till dusk.

The hotel also provides the perfect backdrop for meetings and events, with eight versatile meeting rooms and a grand ballroom that seats 250 guests. A stylish executive lounge encourages relaxation, directly overlooking the runway and gates, while guests can rejuvenate before or after a flight with extensive wellness facilities and a fully equipped spa. The indoor pool, sauna and Turkish bath are available during scheduled hours, and the fitness centre is accessible 24/7 with room key cards. For a more personalised experience, the wellness area features three treatment rooms - two designed for individual sessions and one dedicated for couples.

Just a short walk from Europe’s busiest airport, the hotel offers an elevated stay experience for business, leisure and transit travellers. The metro station situated opposite the hotel also provides effortless access into Istanbul city centre and to some of the city’s key landmarks, including Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, making it the perfect place to stay to start and end a trip.
