InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is set to open three Holiday Inn hotels in Turkey-the Holiday Inn Ankara Çukurambar, Holiday Inn Istanbul Tuzla Bay, and Holiday Inn Istanbul Kadikoy.
The first of the three to open will be the 140-room Holiday Inn Ankara Çukurambar, which will open in Q2 of this year. It will be the first IHG branded hotel in the area and also the first hotel to bring the Holiday Inn Open Lobby concept to Ankara. Facilities include a banquet room and multiple meeting rooms, a spa, gym, bar, and restaurant.
Also set to open in 2014, the Holiday Inn Istanbul Kadikoy will be newly constructed with 127 rooms including four suites, a mini gym, bar, and restaurant. The hotel is the only branded mid-range hotel with a full F&B offering in Kadikoy.
Opening in 2016, the Holiday Inn Istanbul Tuzla Bay will also be newly constructed in the planned business district of Tuzla on the Asian side of Istanbul. Featuring Holiday Inn’s signature Open Lobby and boasting a 180-degree sea view, the hotel will be the first internationally branded hotel in the Tuzla Bay area.
There are currently 282 Holiday Inn hotels in Europe with a further 35 due to open within the next three to five years.
