And yes, the hotel was the <a href=\"http:\/\/milesopedia.com\/go\/marriott-istrn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel<\/a> that I had left that morning!<\/p>\n<p>The hotel staff recognized me and I jokingly asked when I checked in if my suite was available.<\/p>\n<p>It was occupied but I was the only person on my flight who was assigned a suite on the 24th floor instead of a basic room on the lower floors!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel &#8211; My general impression&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;renaissance_polat_istanbul_hotel_-_my_general_impression&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>The location of this hotel is not ideal if you want to spend a lot of time in the tourist area of Istanbul. With the traffic, it can take up to 1 hour to get to the city.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel because my suite was very spacious and nice. The staff is very friendly and attentive.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the hotel provided me with milk for my baby during my entire stay at no extra charge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo credit: Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_content_element wpb_miles_element\">\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='m-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='card'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_card container_template--m-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"card_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"267909\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-utm=\"wpb\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<div class=\"card\">\n\t<div class=\"card--grid\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--img-outer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--img\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-card\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--title-offer-selling\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--title-offer\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card--selling-points\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar shimmer-bar--short\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"card--apply\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"apply-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-btn\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is my review of the Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel.
