Hilton Becomes First Internationally Branded Hotel at Istanbul Airport with 100th Opening in Türkiye

Hilton has opened a new hotel at Istanbul Airport - making it the first international hotel brand to do so and marking its 100th property in Türkiye.

The new 485-bedroom hotel also introduces Hilton’s global dining brand, OXBO, to Türkiye - operating across three separate venues as a restaurant, café, and 24-hour bar.

David Kelly, senior vice president, Continental Europe, Hilton, said: “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.

"Strategically located just steps from one of the world’s busiest airports, this flagship hotel brings together Hilton’s signature hospitality with contemporary design, thoughtful amenities and seamless connectivity for today’s global travellers.

"As we continue to grow at record rates in Türkiye with more openings this year than ever before, Hilton Istanbul Airport reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality stays in the destinations and locations that matter most to our guests.”

Tolga Aytan, general manager, Hilton Istanbul Airport, said: “Located at one of the world’s leading aviation hubs, Hilton Istanbul Airport brings Hilton’s renowned hospitality to the heart of Istanbul Airport.

"As Türkiye’s first Hilton airport hotel, we are proud to offer an elevated stay experience with seamless access to the terminal, designed for guests who value both 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.”
