Wyndham Grand in Türkiye
Upper upscaleParent group: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts' full-service upscale brand, represented in Türkiye by three hotels in Istanbul and one each in Izmir and Kayseri.
Typical service standard
Positioned in the upscale tier: larger rooms than Ramada or Wyndham, full-service restaurants and bars, a spa, a pool and meeting facilities come as standard. In Türkiye the hotels are mostly large-scale properties geared towards conferences and events; most are run by local owners, so quality varies from hotel to hotel. Breakfast is usually a wide open buffet and included in most rates. Prices tend to sit slightly below the equivalent Hilton and Marriott brands, making it a sensible choice for business travel, larger families and spa-focused stays.
Best suited for
Pros
- + Clear step up from Ramada and Wyndham
- + Large rooms, extensive spa and pool areas
- + Strong meeting and events infrastructure

- − Small network; usually one hotel per city
- − Hotels are locally owned, so standards differ from property to property
- − Large conference hotels feel impersonal at busy times
- − Brand recognition in Türkiye is lower than Hilton or Marriott

Wyndham Grand Izmir Özdilek Thermal & Spa
Izmir · Balcova · ★★★★★
A 219-room five-star hotel on the gulf shore in Balçova, attached to the Özdilek mall, whose main draw is a thermal spa that guests use free of charge. It sits about 8 km from the centre, so it suits travellers with a car or taxi budget rather than those wanting to walk the old town.
