Indoor or outdoor: which should I choose?

- From June to September, the outdoor pools at Swissôtel and Hilton Bosphorus feel more like a resort, with gardens and loungers. Both are a 10 to 20 minute walk from the Nişantaşı shops.
- For shopping trips, The Stay Boulevard is the only pool hotel where you can drop your bags between boutiques in a couple of minutes. See shopping in Nişantaşı.
- For the metro, Ramada Plaza is right by Osmanbey station.
