DoubleTree by Hilton has announced the opening of its latest hotel in Istanbul – DoubleTree by Hilton – Istanbul Tuzla located on one of the eastern-most points of the city on the Anatolian peninsula.
The new hotel features 84 guest rooms, including 11 suites, and falls within Istanbul’s Icmeler Thermal Tourism District, home to more than 70,000 sq.m of thermal springs. As well as stylish and comfortable guest rooms, visitors can relax and unwind in the hotel’s unique mineral pool which is known for its healing qualities. Not content with simply floating, guests also have the option to tune in and listen to their favourite classical tracks while immersed in the water.
John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton, said, “We are extremely excited to be adding another hotel to our growing portfolio of seven DoubleTree Hilton properties in Turkey. Istanbul is a culturally rich city, bridging two continents and we are delighted to be able to welcome guests from across the globe with our warm and caring hospitality, starting with the presentation of our signature, freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie at check-in.”
The hotel is located next door to the Tuzla Shipyard and is in close proximity to key transport hubs, including Tuzla Bullet Train Station and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport situated just 1km and 15km from the hotel respectively.
Mustafa Yildiz, general manager, DoubleTree by Hilton – Istanbul Tuzla, said, “We are really looking forward to welcoming guests to our new hotel. Being located in the Thermal Tourism District means we can offer guests a really unique stay which will not only leave them feeling relaxed but rejuvenated from the mineral-rich springs.”
Guests staying at the hotel can choose from two dining options at DoubleTree by Hilton – Istanbul Tuzla. Magnolia, the hotel’s upscale restaurant can cater for up to 86 guests and is the ideal location for a get together with friends or a business lunch with clients, while the Lobby Bar offers a wide selection of local and international beverages, open daily from 8am to 2am.
The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton – Istanbul Tuzla is the latest milestone in DoubleTree’s growth trajectory following the recent opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam – NDSM Wharf in April. The hotel will join three other DoubleTree by Hilton properties in Istanbul, including Doubletree by Hilton Istanbul – Avcilar, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Istanbul – Moda and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Istanbul – Old Town.
