City Breaks & Culture

A 92-room Hilton Garden Inn on Dikmen Caddesi in Ankara's Çankaya district, opened in 2023 as Hilton Garden Inn Ankara Dikmen. It offers free parking, a gym, a restaurant and event space for up to 200, but no pool or spa, and you will need a car, taxi or minibus to reach Kızılay and the embassy quarter.

A 191-room business and convention hotel opened in 2022 on Fatih Sultan Mehmet Boulevard, next to the Gimart and ACity malls, with a large event centre, a spa with hammam and free parking but no pool. Guests consistently praise the staff and the breakfast buffet; the old town is a drive away.

A 140-room, five-star IHG hotel on the Konya road in Ankara's Çukurambar business district, close to ministries, corporate offices and Congresium. Free underground parking and a guest-only spa are useful extras, though the spa is compact and breakfast is often charged separately.

A 90-room luxury hotel in Kavaklıdere that shares a compound — and its pool, spa and gym — with the Sheraton Ankara. Rooms are large with city views and butler service; expect a quiet, discreet city hotel rather than a full-scale wellness resort.

A 138-room five-star hotel in Söğütözü, Ankara's new business district, 450 m from the metro - the building formerly traded as Ramada Plaza Ankara and now holds 4.5 on Google across 2,500+ reviews. Soundproofed rooms, a full spa (indoor pool, hamam, jacuzzi), a 24-hour business centre, ~620 m² of event space and free indoor-outdoor parking with valet make it squarely business-oriented, with 100 Mbps fibre suiting remote workers. Note two rules: children under 13 are not admitted to the indoor pool, and pets require prior arrangement.

A 51-room boutique hotel opened in 2024 in Ankara's Gaziosmanpaşa embassy district, Wyndham's first Trademark Collection property in the city, with a small spa and a busy ground-floor restaurant-bar.

Ankara's first Mercure, a 72-room rebrand that opened in January 2025 a five-minute walk from Kızılay Square. Small standard rooms (17 m²), free valet parking, pets welcome and service scores that beat the room scores.

A 54-room budget city hotel opened on 17 June 2021 in quiet Güzeltepe within Çankaya's embassy quarter - among the first Days-branded properties in Turkey. Free parking, a 24-hour gym, the Leo restaurant and meeting space suit embassy visitors and longer business stays, and two-bedroom apartment-style units work for families. The side-street location guarantees quiet but little within walking distance - Atakule and Çankaya's avenues are a short drive - and breakfast is chargeable on some rates (around EUR 15 per person), worth checking at booking.

A 61-room design-led budget hotel opened in 2025 in Kavaklıdere, with a library-themed lobby and fireplace lounge.

A compact 72-room city hotel right on Tunalı Hilmi, Ankara's best-known shopping-and-café street, with breakfast included and a 2,000+ review track record. Location is the reason to book - Kuğulu Park, Karum and the embassy quarter are walkable, Kızılay metro ~2 km. The kit is modest but functional (sauna, jacuzzi, small gym, no pool); reviews praise staff and breakfast while noting some room fatigue, and street-facing rooms carry Tunalı's buzz - light sleepers should ask for the rear side.
