Named Boreas Hotel, this new addition to Wyndham’s portfolio features a blend of classic elegance and modern comfort, offering guests a stylish boutique experience in the heart of the capital city.

The Boreas Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, was developed by Boreas Gayrimenkul and consists of 51 rooms. It is strategically located in Ankara's Çankaya district, providing easy access to shopping centers, business areas, historic landmarks, and embassies. The hotel’s central location makes it convenient for guests to explore the rich cultural and historical sites of Ankara.

With more than 270 hotels in popular destinations around the world, the Boreas Hotel adds to Wyndham’s expanding portfolio in Turkey. Recent openings in Istanbul and Izmir have also bolstered the brand’s presence in the country, solidifying Wyndham's position as the largest international hotel company in Turkey, with approximately 120 hotels under 11 different brands.

This collaboration enables us to deliver a high-quality, boutique experience for our guests in Ankara, supported by a world-class brand valuing independent-minded hotels."

The Boreas Hotel, designed by the luxury architecture firm Artmim, aims to provide a unique experience that caters to the needs of modern travelers. The hotel features natural materials like stone and wood, and the extensive use of glass brings in natural light, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. The spacious lobby and integrated sunroom provide relaxing areas for guests, and the hotel's bistro offers flexible seating for casual dining and business meetings, catering to both leisure and business travelers.

Adding a personal touch, the resort has also introduced a Zodiac-to-Experience Guide, helping guests discover activities that match their astrological signs. Adventurous Aries can explore kayaking, paddleboarding, or snorkelling vibrant reefs; nurturing Cancers are encouraged to reconnect with nature through forest walks and marine discoveries; and focused Capricorns can unwind with sea-view spa rituals or wellness sessions overlooking the horizon.
