Izmir Palas Otel stands at Vasif Çınar Boulevard No 2 on the First Kordon in Konak, one minute's walk from the promenade, and is classed as a four-star hotel with 146 rooms. Facilities include the Deniz Restaurant, two bars, a terrace, a library, a business centre, meeting rooms and coworking space, a gift shop, a porter and 24-hour room service, with free WiFi and air conditioning throughout. The property lists soundproofed rooms, which matters on a busy waterfront street. It is a traditional city hotel with a seafront setting rather than a resort.
Location and getting around
The Kordon is practically at the door, about a one-minute walk, so evening strolls and sunset cafes are simple. Kemeraltı Market is about a nineteen-minute walk, Konak Square is about a two-minute drive and the Clock Tower is within about two kilometres, so a short taxi or tram ride covers the old city. Cankaya Station is about a fifteen-minute walk and Basmane Station about nineteen, which helps if you are arriving by train.
Rooms and style
The 146 rooms are the draw for travellers who want a traditional city hotel with a waterfront address, and some are described as city terrace rooms. Ask for a gulf-facing room if you want the view, and a higher floor if you want quiet, although the soundproofing helps. The terrace, library and two bars give you somewhere to sit, and the coworking space and business centre suit travellers who need to work. It is best for couples, solo travellers and friends who want to be on the Kordon without paying five-star prices.
Good to know
Buffet breakfast is served daily in the morning for a fee, so decide whether to add it to your rate or eat out. Valet parking is charged per day, the car park is uncovered and spaces are limited, so most guests arrive by taxi or public transport. There is no pool or spa, so it suits visitors who spend their days out exploring. Check the hotel's current room and renovation status when booking, as older properties on the waterfront vary in finish from room to room.
