The stay
Editor's notes
Breakfast & dining
The open-buffet breakfast is served with a view in the Encore Roof restaurant on the terrace floor; on most Turkish channels it is sold as bed and breakfast, while on some international channels breakfast is charged per person (about 400 TL), so check your rate. The same restaurant serves Turkish and international cuisine, meat, fish and grills at lunch and dinner; there is a lobby bar and room service. During busy group periods, service in the breakfast room can slow down.
Noise & sound insulation
Rooms are listed as soundproofed; since the hotel is close to the busy Firuzköy Bulvarı and the D100, lower-floor road-facing rooms may get slight traffic noise. Upper-floor rooms facing the sea/lake are the better choice for both the view and quiet.
Extra fees & things to know
Breakfast is charged on some channels (about 400 TL per person). Airport transfer is about 400 TL per vehicle (one way, up to 4 people). Valet is paid. An extra-person fee may apply. ID and a deposit (card/cash) may be requested at check-in.
Pool, spa & fitness
The hotel has a fitness room; no pool, sauna, hammam or spa. Not suitable for those expecting wet areas.
