Parent group: Marriott International
Renaissance Hotels is an upper-upscale brand within Marriott International, combining contemporary design, local culture and social experiences. While retaining the comfort of a traditional hotel chain, it aims to offer a livelier, more discovery-focused stay that reflects the character of its destination.
Rooms generally feature contemporary furnishings, comfortable beds and practical workspaces, although design, room sizes and views vary by property. Breakfast, restaurants and bars play an important role in the brand's social identity, with an emphasis on local flavours and opportunities to explore the surrounding culture. In Türkiye, its city hotels are worth considering for business trips, short urban breaks and travellers who enjoy socialising in comfortable surroundings; meeting facilities, spas and other amenities differ between properties. Rates generally fall within the upper-upscale category, and the brand appeals to guests seeking a little more local character than a conventional chain-hotel experience.
Istanbul · Beşiktaş · ★★★★★
A 213-room, 16-floor Renaissance hotel opened in 2012 on Barbaros Boulevard in Beşiktaş, between Taksim and Levent, best known for Bosphorus views from its upper floors and its rooftop 212 Bar & Restaurant. Service is consistently praised, though some guests find the rooms dated and the immediate surroundings awkward to explore on foot.
Izmir · Konak · ★★★★★
A 110-room city hotel opened in 2013 on Gaziosmanpaşa Boulevard in Konak, a short walk from the Kordon waterfront, with a rooftop restaurant, an indoor pool, sauna, hammam and a small spa. Parking is off-site valet only and charged per day.
