InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced the signing of Holiday Inn Kayseri – Düvenönü in Turkey. Operating under a franchise agreement with Ali Sert Otel Tur. Ins. San. Tic. LTD, the new build hotel is due to open in early 2016.
The 161-room hotel will feature six meeting rooms, a gym and three treatment rooms, a rooftop bar and lounge offering panoramic views, as well as Holiday Inn’s signature Open Lobby.
The Holiday Inn Open Lobby takes a unique approach to the in-hotel experience for guests, which has transformed the traditional hotel lobby format by combining the front desk, lobby, restaurant, bar, lounge area and business centre into one open, cohesive space, while refreshing the design to give it a more contemporary feel. The Open Lobby has been established by understanding how people use space at home in order to give guests the most flexibility, whether they’re looking to eat, relax, work, or have fun in one integrated space.
Occupying a prime location in Kayseri’s city centre, Holiday Inn Kayseri – Düvenönü is just a short distance from the city’s cultural and historical attractions including Gevher Nesibe Hastahanesi and the Archaeological Museum, as well as the trading centre. A large number of offices are within walking distance from the hotel and it is also well connected by train.
Yalin Yaltiraki, Director of Development, Turkey, IHG commented: “Kayseri is a growing city and Holiday Inn Kayseri – Düvenönü is well positioned to offer quality accommodation at a reasonable price to business clientele and tourists here. This hotel is going to be an excellent representation of the brand and we’re very much looking forward to working with Ali Sert and his team.”
Ali Sert, Owner of Ali Sert Otel Tur. Ins. San. Tic. LTD commented: “We’re very excited to be developing our first hotel with IHG. The Holiday Inn brand has a great reputation in the industry and this hotel will offer guests a comfortable night’s stay in modern surroundings in Kayseri.”
