# Crowne Plaza Florya Istanbul by IHG

A five-star Crowne Plaza in Florya — Istanbul Aquarium 0.6 km, airport shuttle listed, free parking — with strong staff praise and a location that puts Hagia Sophia at 15 km.

## Verdict

Book it for the aquarium, the mall and a suburban pool stay; do not book it expecting to walk to Sultanahmet — location scores 9.65 out of 10 for Florya, not for the historic peninsula.

The pin is explicit. our hotel data provider puts İstanbul Akvaryum at 0.6 km, Aqua Florya at 0.6 km, Florya Marmaray at 0.6 km and Atatürk Köşkü at 1 km — then Hagia Sophia at 15 km and Taksim at 17 km. That is the trade in one table.

The supplier rating is 9.4 out of 10 from 3,863 reviews, captured 12 December 2025. Service scores 9.99 with named staff praise; food and beverage 9.64 with Atrox restaurant called out positively. Cleanliness is the soft spot at 8.64, and breakfast price grumbles appear in the value summary.

Facilities match a suburban five-star IHG stay: fitness centre, swimming pool, restaurant, bar, terrace, garden, family rooms, pets allowed, airport shuttle, free parking and parking are listed. IST is 35 km.

Pros name polite staff and a great location near attractions — meaning Florya’s mall and aquarium, not the Blue Mosque. Cons name cleanliness improvements and high breakfast prices without quoting a figure.

## Is Crowne Plaza Florya too far from the Old City?

For a Sultanahmet-heavy week, yes. Hagia Sophia is 15 km and Topkapı 15.5 km on our hotel data provider’s figures. For an aquarium-and-mall stay with Marmaray at 0.6 km, the distance is the product, not a surprise.

## Does it have an airport shuttle?

Yes — an airport shuttle is listed in the amenities we cite, alongside free parking and a swimming pool. IST is 35 km on the POI row. We still do not quote a shuttle price — check the partner for your dates.
