Istanbul now has two international airports. The principal airport is Istanbul Atatürk which is situated on the European side of the city, and the newer, but smaller one is named Sabiha Gökçen which is situated on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Once you know which airport you’re flying to you can decide whether you would like to book an Istanbul airport hotel or whether you would prefer to book an Istanbul hotel in the city centre.
