About Grand Cevahir Hotel & Convention Center

Grand Cevahir Hotel & Convention Center describes itself as Türkiye's first five-star convention hotel, and it is run as a dry hotel: no alcohol is served anywhere in the building. It stands at No:5 Darülaceze Caddesi in Halide Edip Adıvar Mahallesi, Şişli, west of Mecidiyeköy. The Cevahir and Trump Towers shopping centres are about 1 km away and Taksim and Nişantaşı about 3 km, and a free shuttle runs on weekdays and Saturdays to Taksim Square, Cevahir Mall and Mecidiyeköy metro station.

By the hotel's own figures, Istanbul Airport is the nearer airport. The drive stays on the European side: the airport motorway runs south-east past Göktürk and Kemerburgaz and down to Kağıthane, and from there the route crosses into the western part of Şişli. The hotel is on Darülaceze Caddesi, west of Mecidiyeköy.

Most of the rooms are the 272 Superior rooms of about 30 m²; executive rooms and suites take floors 10 to 13, and four King Suites of about 100 m² are the largest. The convention side has 22 meeting halls, a ballroom of about 2,500 m² with an 8.5 m ceiling and an auditorium with 1,013 fixed seats. The Sailing Spa covers about 1,500 m² with a hammam, sauna and an indoor-outdoor pool, and meals are served in the Sultan and Deliz restaurants and the Lobby Lounge.
