Le Méridien Gets Its First Hotel in Turkey

Starwood Hotels & Resorts has opened the first hotel in Turkey under its Le Méridien brand. Le Méridien hotel in Istanbul is owned by Makyol Construction Industry Tourism and Trading Co. Inc. and operated by the world-renowned company. The hotel is located in a beautiful 34-story building near the Bosphorus, so guests of this hotel will get an amazing chance to enjoy the views of the two continents.

The accommodation’s location is Etiler district, so the hotel’s design fits the neighboring constructions - Le Méridien Istanbul Etiler looks like 3 large stacked blocks that steadily become transparent. The 259 comfortable guestrooms and 21 apartments dedicated to long stay feature all modern amenities and come with traditional features of the brand including dock stations, a separate bathtub, and a rainforest shower.

Guests of the hotel will surely like its lobby, which is more like a place for gathering and socializing rather than a traditional lobby. The territory of the hotel also includes an all-day restaurant, a bar at the rooftop, and another bar with widest choice of coffee. Visitors of the bars will be able to see amazing panoramic looks of the city. Business and meeting space is represented by a grand ballroom (766 sq. m.), a meeting space (2000 sq. m.), and nine meeting rooms. The hotel’s spa center is equipped with 8 treatment rooms, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool with heating, a fitness center, and even a Turkish hammam.
