Formerly a primarily residential area, Levent started becoming a major hub of the business district in Istanbul since the mid-2000s. In the past few years alone, towering skyscrapers occupied by many leading Turkish & international corporations have opened along the 2-3 kilometer stretch of the main avenue called Büyükdere Caddesi. A majority of these state-of-the-art skyscrapers also have sprawling lavish shopping malls steps from each other attracting clientele from all walks of life. As a result, today Levent is not only a major business district but also a haven for leisure travelers. Furthermore, in late 2014 the ultra- exclusive Zorlu Center opened and is only 1 km from the Avantgarde Levent Hotel. It is an upmarket business and residential complex with a chic & exclusive shopping mall with topnotch international and Turkish retailers and restaurants. However, the piéce de résistance at the mega complex by far is the high-tech and modern Zorlu Performance Center which has been home to international acclaimed musicals, plays, dance shows, and classical and contemporary music concerts, attracting a long line of local and international performing arts aficionados.
Open since May 2010 in the hub of the Business District in Levent, we are 1 km from the Bosphorus Bridge, steps from the metro and 50 km long “metrobus”, a rapid bus transit system linking the European side of Istanbul to the Asian side; 45 km from the Sabiha Gökçen Airport located on the Asian side of the city; 11 km to the Old City; and 15 km from the city center of Taksim.
The 7-story Avantgarde Levent has a total of 84 guest rooms (63 Deluxe, 14 Grand Deluxe, 4 Superior Deluxe and 3 Residential Suites); state-of-the-art ballroom and 4 meeting rooms; 2 restaurants; 1,000 square meter Spa& Wellness Center, fully-equipped Fitness Center; Pilates/Yoga Studio; and Business Center. Moreover, the interior and exterior of the hotel showcases the works of arts of many prominent Turkish & International contemporary artists.
