A beautiful Ottoman-style
inn with a gourmet restaurant on a
quiet street only two minutes' stroll
from Kalekapısı,
the very center of historic Antalya, near the top sights, tram lines, bazaar, boutiques and harbor...
Is that possible?
It is! It's the Tuvana Hotel,
in a prime location close to all the
sights in Kaleiçi
(Old Antalya), but also just steps
from Kalekapısı,
the very center of Antalya sightseeing,
transportation and
shopping.
It's even on its own quiet
side street with
no vehicle traffic, very little pedestrian
traffic, but plenty of flowers. This makes it especially suitable for families and travelers with mobility challenges.
If you book your room directly with the
hotel and mention TurkeyTravelPlanner.com, you may receive valuable bonuses that
will increase your comfort and save
you money. More...
The six restored Ottoman houses
of the inn have 46 comfortable, atmospheric
rooms ranging in comfort and price
from Standard and Standard Plus to
Superior and Deluxe, including eight
suites, two family suites and two "Pasha" rooms
that are larger, with many windows,
and open onto the garden, terrace
restaurant,
and pretty swimming pool
surrounded by palm and fruit
trees and luxuriant bougainvillea. Unlike many hotel swimming pools in Kaleiçi, the Tuvana's receives full sun all day.
In season, feel
free to pick fresh oranges,
tangerines, bananas, plums, medlars,
and pomegranates right from the trees!
Each of the houses has a different character and ambiance, with its own antique decor, sitting rooms and atmosphere. All guest rooms have flat-screen satellite
TV with
Turkish, European and American channels,
DVD players, direct-dial phones, minibars,
and modern private bathrooms with hair
dryers.
Enjoy a book or DVD movie (with romantic movies for newlyweds!) from
the small lending library or log on to the free
Wifi wireless Internet access available
everywhere in the hotel.
The hotel's restaurants, Kaftani (Turkish)
and Seraser,
(international/Turkish gourmet) are
two of the finest restaurants
in Antalya, with quality and
service worthy of Istanbul. More...
Besides its two dining rooms (with
a fireplace for winter evenings), Kaftani serves
diners in its beautiful garden beneath
the fruit trees when the weather is
fine.
Ratesat the Tuvana include
a full
Turkish buffet breakfast
and, if you wish, may include a generous table
d'hote dinner.
And dinner may be a special event
such as
the weekly Turkish barbecue: a
seemingly endless succession of appetizers,
salads, and grilled meats brought right
to your table, sizzling from the grill,
until you can eat no more. But then,
dessert
arrives!
Oh,
and coffee.
Oh, and then a liqueur.... (Delicious
alternatives to meat are available
for vegetarians.)
Rest easy: your comfy
bed is
nearby....
Clientele is usually
a congenial mix of Britons, Europeans,
Australians and North Americans. Special
rates are available
for diplomats,
academics, journalists and
artists with credentials
who reserve
directly with the hotel.
There
are also seasonal discounts. Ask!
Mr Aziz Tankut, the
hotel's owner, and Ms Nermin
Sümer, the General
Manager, are usually much in evidence
around the hotel, assisting guests,
sharing a story, a joke, a cup of coffee,
or
information
and advice on how best to enjoy Antalya
and places nearby.
The hotel staff will be happy to arrange
a private
transfer from Antalya
International Airport directly to the
Tuvana Hotel. More...
The Tuvana
Hotel has
its own car parking lot behind
the hotel (a rare thing in
congested Kaleiçi).
Finding it can be tricky, but no worries:
ask in advance for the special map to the hotel. When you arrive, the hotel will send a staff member
to assist, or even pilot your car if
necessary. Contact
the hotel for details.
Aziz Bey and Nermin Hanım tell me
that travelers coming from TurkeyTravelPlanner.com are
the best
guests, so they offer
incentives for you to stay with them.
TTP travelers benefit most from bonuses on Superior and Deluxe rooms, but Standard and Standard Plus rooms are yours as well, all subject to availability (reserve early!).
Remember: these special offers are NOT offered unless you book directly
with the hotel and mention TTP at the time of booking. Click here!
