Wyndham Hotels and Resorts has opened a new hotel in Istanbul, Turkey.

The newly constructed, 210-room Wyndham Istanbul Kalamis Marina, located on the Asian coast of Istanbul, is the first upscale Wyndham hotel in Turkey.

The five-star hotel features 210 rooms over five floors, including specially designed family suites, as well as fourteen multi-functional meeting rooms, including a ballroom which can accommodate up to 750 guests.

The Blue Harmony Spa offers a host of therapeutic treatments as well as a sauna, hammam and traditional Turkish baths.

The fitness center boasts state-of-the art equipment and a separate gym and play area designed especially for children.

Additional hotel amenities and services include complimentary high-speed wireless internet access, 24-hour business center as well as indoor and outdoor pools.

On-site dining outlets include five restaurants and cafés offering a variety of cuisines throughout the day and 24-hour room service.

The hotel’s prime location with views of the exclusive Kalamis Marina and Marmara Sea puts guests within close proximity to attractions like Beylerbeyi Palace, Camlica Hill and Maiden’s Tower, as well as Istanbul Ataturk Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport. The hotel is also in walking distance of Bagdat Street, one of the city’s most popular shopping streets.

“Turkey is a vibrant country that plays a key role in our strategic plan to expand Wyndham Hotel Group’s portfolio in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and better serve lodging needs in major markets,” said Rui Barros, Wyndham Hotel Group’s senior vice president and managing director, EMEA. “The opening of a first-rate hotel like Wyndham Istanbul Kalamis Marina helps us serve those needs and demonstrates our continued commitment to work with esteemed partners to bring high-quality accommodations and hospitable service to travelers around the world.”

The opening of the franchised hotel, owned by Reisler Deri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi, adds to Wyndham Hotel Group’s presence in Turkey, joining 12 hotels currently open and operating under the Ramada brand.

The company also plans to welcome its second Wyndham hotel in the country, the 306-room Wyndham Istanbul Petek, in summer 2013.
