The Marmara Antalya is the city's big-name luxury address, standing on Eski Lara Yolu in the Şirinyalı area of Lara, the shopping and beach district on the eastern side of Antalya. The hotel has 232 rooms across Standard rooms with city or sea views, Deluxe sea-view rooms and two-bedroom Family rooms that sleep up to five. Facilities include an outdoor pool and a children's pool with loungers, a beachfront setting with sun loungers and water-sport options, a spa with aromatherapy, Thai and Ayurvedic treatments and a gym with fitness classes. Restaurant Tuti serves international cuisine, and there are a poolside bar, a coffee shop, a terrace and a garden. Parking is free with valet service and electric car charging is available.
Location and getting around: Lara is a resort district, not the old town. The hotel is about 24 minutes by car from Antalya Airport, shops and restaurants are within a short walk and the Terra City shopping centre is a couple of minutes by car. Kaleiçi and the old harbour are further, so expect a taxi or bus ride for sightseeing, and plan transport for day trips to Aspendos, Perge and Side, which are reached by tour pickup or hired car. The Konserve public beach is about a ten-minute walk, and the hotel has its own beach access reached by an elevator and a tunnel.
Rooms and who it suits: rooms are spacious by Antalya standards, with Standard rooms around 450 square feet, sea-view rooms a little smaller and a large two-bedroom Family room. It suits couples who want a resort feel and families who want a pool, beach and children's facilities, and travellers who prefer a polished, full-service stay to a boutique guesthouse. The spa and the pet-friendly policy are bonuses.
Good to know: the outdoor pool is seasonal and listed as closed from mid-October to mid-May, so in November expect the beach and spa rather than swimming in the pool. Buffet breakfast carries a surcharge, so check what your rate includes. There is no kids club listed, so if that matters, confirm directly. Book a sea-view room if the view is the point, and ask about airport transfers when booking.
