Parent group: Accor
A Swiss-origin upper-luxury brand under Accor since 2016, known for large city hotels, big spa footprints and event infrastructure. Türkiye holds one of the brand's largest country portfolios: alongside landmark city hotels in Istanbul and Izmir there are Aegean resorts, a mountain hotel at Uludağ and a long-stay format.
Rooms are spacious, understated and practical; given the scale, differences between floors, wings and views are marked, and room choice changes the experience considerably. Breakfast is a large buffet and service is orderly and corporate; the brand's real card is its spa, indoor pool and wellness-led facilities. Rates sit in the upper band of the city but below Raffles and Fairmont; it suits business travel, big events and spa-centred city breaks. With property types so varied in Türkiye, the same brand name covers city hotel, beach resort and ski hotel, each a different experience, so check which format you are booking.
Izmir · Konak · ★★★★★
A 402-room five-star city hotel set in large gardens next to Cumhuriyet Square, a short walk from the Kordon waterfront. Originally opened in 1964 as the Büyük Efes, it reopened under Swissôtel in 2008 and combines a convention centre with indoor and outdoor pools and a full spa.
Mugla · Bodrum · ★★★★★
Izmir · Cesme · ★★★★★
Swissôtel Resort & Spa Çeşme is a 248-room beach resort on Ilıca Beach in Çeşme, İzmir, reopened in November 2023 after a full renovation of the former Sheraton Çeşme. It has a sandy private beach, indoor, outdoor and thermal pools, the 3,500 m² Pürovel Spa fed by Ilıca's mineral springs, a kids' club and ten meeting rooms. Alaçatı is 3–4 km away and İzmir airport about 85 km; high-season crowds and slow beach service are the recurring criticisms.
Mugla · Bodrum · ★★★★★
Swissôtel Resort Bodrum Beach is a small beachfront resort in Turgutreis on the western tip of the Bodrum peninsula, opened in 2015 with 70 rooms and suites in a two-storey main building designed by GAD Architecture, plus 72 residences. Rooms start at 40 m², the beach and jetty are directly in front, and the Pürovel spa has indoor and outdoor pools. Being 20 km from Bodrum town keeps it quiet, but airport transfers take over an hour and reviews repeatedly mention slow beach service.
Istanbul · Beşiktaş · ★★★★★
A large 566-room hotel set in former Dolmabahçe Palace gardens above Beşiktaş, with Bosphorus views from many rooms, extensive meeting space, indoor and outdoor pools and apartment-style residences. Service and breakfast are consistently praised; prices, especially for dining, are high and rail transit is not within easy reach.
Bursa · Osmangazi · ★★★★★
Swissôtel Uludağ Bursa is a 173-room wellness hotel in the Kirazlıyayla forest on Mount Uludağ, opened in November 2023 inside the restored 1946 Kirazlıyayla Sanatorium designed by the architect of Anıtkabir. The Pürovel Spa has twelve treatment rooms, two indoor pools and one outdoor pool, and the property runs an alcohol-free concept. It sits in the forest rather than at the ski resort, so the slopes are a 25–30 minute drive, and the historic layout means long corridors and stairs between blocks.
