If you have an overnight layover at Istanbul International Airport or need a break during a long stopover, YOTEL Istanbul Airport offers a premium alternative to the standard day beds and lounge chairs. With its luxurious accommodations, YOTEL transforms your airport downtime into a comfortable and memorable stay.

There are two YOTEL facilities within the new Istanbul Airport. YOTELAIR is situated in the Duty-Free Zone, airside of the terminal. To access YOTELAIR, you must clear security and check in with only hand luggage, as checked baggage should already be dropped off. If arriving from an international flight, proceed to Gates A and B and skip Passport Control to find YOTEL airside near the LCW store. For those arriving from a domestic flight or directly from the city, you will need to pass through Passport Control to reach YOTELAIR.

The second option, YOTEL Istanbul Airport – Landside, is located in the departures area, specifically across from Gate 7. If you’re coming from a domestic flight, you can head straight to the Landside hotel without clearing Passport Control. For international arrivals, you will need to pass through Passport Control and may require a visa, depending on your country of origin.

YOTEL Istanbul Airport stands as one of the largest hotels globally, with 451 rooms, making it the largest in-terminal hotel in Europe. YOTEL Istanbul Landside, accessible to all guests, features 277 cabins, each outfitted with luxurious bedding, top-quality mattresses, Smart Beds, rain showers, premium toiletries, and smart TVs. Catering to both business and leisure travelers, the hotel offers free Wi-Fi and meeting rooms to meet your professional needs. For relaxation, the hotel’s gym is open 24/7, and KOMYUNITI Bar and Restaurant serves up delicious meals and beverages.

Similarly, YOTELAIR offers exceptional facilities for travelers with ongoing international flights. Its 174 cabins provide the same luxury features as YOTEL, including Smart Beds, premium bedding, rain showers, free Wi-Fi, and smart TVs. The KOMYUNITI Bar and Restaurant is open around the clock, providing a variety of meals and drinks. Additionally, “Mission Control” is available 24/7 to assist with requests such as extra towels or complimentary coffee and tea.

YOTEL Istanbul Airport streamlines the check-in and check-out processes for a hassle-free experience. At YOTEL Landside, there is no traditional reception desk; instead, guests use automated check-in kiosks, eliminating queues and wait times. If you need assistance, Mission Control is available to help at any time. YOTELAIR follows a similar check-in process. Guests also have the option to book a room for a few hours, though the minimum reservation is 4 hours.

Note: When booking in advance, ensure you select the appropriate YOTEL facility (Landside or Airside) and make your reservation accordingly.
