The hotel also features meeting space, including a 586-square-metre ballroom and 14 meeting rooms totalling over 1970 sq m, as well as a large fitness suite, spa and swimming pool.
Dining options at the hotel range from a lobby bar to all-day dining and speciality restaurants, with 24-hour room service.
Owned and developed by Kilicbey Turizm Isletmeleri Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, with design input from renowned architects Metex Design, the construction and opening of the hotel has, according to Wyndham, created some 200 jobs.
The opening of the hotel marks the group’s 20th property in the country, which includes properties under its Tryp by Wyndham and Ramada brands; the latest addition to Ramada, the 395-room Ramada Resort Antalya Lara, opened its doors this week in the Turkish Riviera.
The group also recently announced its entry into Turkey with its Super 8 brand which will open a total of 20 hotels over the next 10 years. The economy hotel brand currently has more than 2300 properties worldwide.
Wyndham Hotel Group’s senior vice president and managing director for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Rui Barros, said: “We are thrilled to welcome yet another stunning Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property in Turkey, a country that is integral to our growth strategy in the region.
“The popularity of the recently opened Wyndham Istanbul Kalamis Marina has proven there is strong demand for the Wyndham brand in the country. We look forward to working with our partners on opportunities to add more quality hotels here in the years ahead.”
Chairman of the board, Kilicbey Turizm Isletmeleri Insaat Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, Mehmet Buyukkidik, also commented: “Istanbul is a dynamic city and a melting pot of culture and diversity, representing every aspect of Turkish life.
“We are extremely pleased to invest in this city through the opening of Wyndham Istanbul Petek and to work with the world’s largest hotel company to bring world-class service and best-in-class guest amenities to the country.”
