Istanbul-inspired design meets contemporary comfort
The design of Hilton Istanbul Airport draws on the unique character of Istanbul, blending elements of the city’s historic neighbourhoods with its modern energy.
Throughout the hotel, colours, textures and materials reference the destination. Natural stone, warm metallic finishes and luxurious fabrics create elegant yet welcoming spaces, while carefully considered lighting and textures add a sense of calm.
The result is a contemporary airport hotel that maintains a strong connection to its Istanbul setting.
OXBO makes its Türkiye debut
Hilton’s global dining brand OXBO makes its debut in Türkiye at Hilton Istanbul Airport.
The concept spans three distinct venues: a restaurant, café and 24-hour bar. Together, they offer guests locally sourced ingredients and menus designed around a mix of international influences and authentic local flavours.
OXBO is also intended as a social hub, creating an informal setting where guests can dine, meet or relax throughout the day, from early morning departures to late-night arrivals.
Wellness, meetings and runway views
Hilton Istanbul Airport offers a comprehensive range of facilities for travellers looking to work, relax or recharge between flights.
The hotel features eight meeting rooms and a grand ballroom accommodating up to 250 guests, providing flexible options for business meetings, conferences and social events.
Meanwhile, the executive lounge overlooks the runway and airport gates, offering a dedicated space for guests to relax.
The wellness facilities include an indoor pool, sauna and Turkish bath, with access available during scheduled hours. The fitness centre operates 24 hours a day using room key-card access.
For guests seeking a more personalised treatment, the wellness area includes three treatment rooms. Two are designed for individual treatments, while another is dedicated to couples.
Direct access to Istanbul Airport and the city
Location is central to the hotel’s appeal. Hilton Istanbul Airport is within walking distance of the airport terminal, offering convenient access for passengers with early departures, late arrivals or connecting itineraries.
The metro station opposite the hotel also provides a direct connection towards Istanbul city centre. From there, travellers can reach major attractions including Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
As a result, the hotel is positioned not only as a convenient airport base but also as a practical starting and ending point for exploring Istanbul.
Hilton marks its 100th hotel in Türkiye
David Kelly, Senior Vice President, Continental Europe, Hilton, said the opening represents another important milestone in Hilton’s long-standing presence in Türkiye.
“Hilton has been welcoming guests across Türkiye for over 70 years, and the opening of Hilton Istanbul Airport as our 100th hotel in Türkiye marks another important milestone in our proud history here.”
Kelly added that the hotel combines Hilton’s hospitality with contemporary design, thoughtful amenities and connectivity for today’s global travellers.
Tolga Aytan, General Manager, Hilton Istanbul Airport, said the hotel brings Hilton’s hospitality to the heart of Istanbul Airport while offering travellers an elevated experience focused on time and comfort.
“More than a convenient stopover, the hotel is a welcoming meeting point for business and leisure travellers, setting a new standard for airport hospitality in Türkiye.”
Hilton continues its expansion in Türkiye
Hilton Istanbul Airport is one of 14 Hilton openings planned in Türkiye in 2026, underlining the company’s continued expansion in the market.
The 2026 pipeline includes the next chapter for the iconic Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus, Hilton’s first cave hotel in Cappadocia, the debut of Spark by Hilton in Türkiye and the upcoming Porto Chiara, Curio Collection by Hilton.
The milestone also builds on Hilton’s more than seven decades of operations in Türkiye, with the company continuing to expand across the country’s major tourism and business destinations.
Hilton Honors benefits for guests
