I will be with a friend whose never been to Istanbul and would love to at least glance at blue mosque etc...
There are not the many hotels near the new airport. It would be better if you stay in the city if you would take taxi in both directions.
Istanbul is a huge city so there are many hotels so it would be better if you provide your preferred hotel chain.
