Ataşehir
Ataşehir started out in the 1990s as a planned housing scheme and has become one of the leading business districts on the Asian side. Tall residential towers, office blocks and the Istanbul Finance Center project define its skyline, while the broad boulevards of the Atatürk neighbourhood are lined with restaurants, cafés and malls. Hotels here mainly serve business travellers, especially those with meetings at Asian-side offices who would rather avoid European-side traffic, or who want to stay within easy reach of Sabiha Gökçen.
