InterContinental Grand Ankara is now welcoming guests. Originally opened as The Grand Ankara Hotel in 1966, the property underwent a complete transformation before transitioning to the IHG luxury brand.

“We are delighted to announce the arrival of InterContinental Grand Ankara to the capital. InterContinental is one of the world’s most iconic luxury hotel brands, with decades of expertise in global hospitality. With IHG’s proven knowledge, respect for local cultures, and deep understanding of community dynamics, we believe InterContinental Grand Ankara will bring immense value to the city’s tourism landscape. This luxury brand will not only meet but exceed the expectations of our guests,” said Tahir Çelik, Chairman of the Board at Çelikler Holding, the owner of the property.

Located in the heart of the city’s diplomatic, business and social area, InterContinental Grand Ankara is directly across from the Turkish Grand National Assembly. It is a 40-minute drive from Esenboğa Airport, and close to key cultural institutions such as the Anitkabir monument and Kale (Ankara Castle).

InterContinental Grand Ankara offers:

• 342 guestrooms across a range of luxury room categories
• a signature restaurant – LOQQANTA 06 – helmed by executive chef Emre İnanır, a Gault & Millau award-winner with Michelin Guide experience
• a more than 5,300-square-foot spa, offering treatments inspired by wellness traditions from Türkiye and beyond
• an indoor pool and fitness center
• a collection of Luxury Apartment Suites with large living areas, fully-equipped kitchens and residential-style layouts
• a versatile collection of event spaces, including three ballrooms accommodating up to 1,200 guests and 15 multifunctional meeting rooms
• the brand’s signature concierge service

“For me, luxury is not just a physical product; it is an experience that understands the needs of the guest even before they are expressed, creates distinction through details, and builds a strong connection,” said Ufuk Demir, the property’s general manager. “With the global perspective and cultural richness of the InterContinental brand, we aim to position InterContinental Grand Ankara not only as a place to stay, but as a destination that captures the rhythm of the city and becomes a reference point for gastronomy and social life.”
