DoubleTree by Hilton Izmir Alsancak is a four-star tower with 126 rooms across 21 floors in the Alsancak district. The spa offers massage and a Turkish bath, and there is a gym, a bar and lounge, a coffee shop, a convenience store, laundry and dry cleaning, 24-hour room service and free WiFi. The Smyrna restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Free self-parking and free valet parking are available on site, which is rare for a central İzmir hotel and a real advantage if you are driving.
Location and getting around
The Kordon is about an eight-minute walk, Kemeraltı Market about fifteen minutes and Konak Square about seventeen minutes on foot, so the hotel works as a walkable base for the waterfront and the old city. Alsancak has plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars within a short stroll, and the station and the metro make onward travel simple. Because the building is tall, the upper floors have wide views over the city and the gulf, so ask for a high floor when you book.
Rooms and facilities
The 126 rooms are modern and comfortably sized, with air conditioning and WiFi. The spa and Turkish bath are a good way to unwind after a long day of sightseeing or a day trip to Pergamon or Şirince. Note that the swimming pool is closed seasonally from 1 October to 1 June, so it will not be available in winter, though the spa, gym and indoor facilities are. The hotel suits couples, business travellers and families who value brand consistency and parking more than a seafront address.
Good to know
Breakfast is not included in every rate, and a buffet is served in the morning for a fee, so compare the room-only price with the breakfast rate. Free parking on site is a rare perk in central İzmir. The airport is roughly half an hour away by road, and taxis are easy to find at the door. Rates are mid-range for a four-star, a little above the budget hotels in Basmane and below the five-star waterfront towers.
