Levent is a neighbourhood of the Beşiktaş district and the core of Istanbul's finance and office corridor. The low-rise streets built in 1947 as a housing scheme by Emlak Kredi Bankası now sit beside towers such as İş Kuleleri, Kanyon, Metrocity and Istanbul Sapphire, with Büyükdere Avenue forming the western edge. Almost nobody comes here to sightsee: people arrive for meetings, trade events and office work, and eat and shop mainly in the malls built under the towers.

Istanbul Airport is 43 km away, about 44 minutes. Most of the drive is motorway, but the final stretch feeds into Büyükdere Avenue, so on weekday mornings and evenings the journey stretches noticeably. On public transport Levent sits on the M2 line, with the Levent and 4. Levent stations, and is the first station of the M6 line, while the airport line M11 connects to M2 at Gayrettepe. Landing at Sabiha Gökçen instead means crossing from the Asian side, which adds a great deal of time.

What matters on arrival is address precision. Büyükdere Avenue carries a dense row of towers, many sharing the same street name. Hotel and office entrances are usually set back from the road, with vehicle access down a covered parking ramp; the driver can bring you to the lobby door, but expect a barrier and a security check at the ramp. Put the building name, and the tower or block number if there is one, in your booking. Stopping on the main avenue is not allowed, so an address given only as the avenue name can send the driver round the block. The older Levent streets behind the towers are narrow and parked up on both sides.
