A truly new experience in Ankara

Archie Domville — Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:08:39 +0000

As the capital of a nation, Ankara is a big, bustling and highly important city, so visitors will no doubt want to stay somewhere worthy of such a destination.The Wyndham Ankara is just such a hotel, offering the finest comfort, modern facilities, great food and a fine spa.It has a wide array of rooms, ranging from the Standard to the Presidential. In the case of the former, there are 100 of these and all come with air conditioning, a private safe deposit, a mini bar, TV, kettle, iron and ironing table, a blow dryer and 27 sq m of space. They also have large double beds that are outrageously cosy and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of natural light.The Presidential Suite has all the above elements but with lots more space - 115 sq m - and a six sq m private terrace. It also has two roof suites connected to the royal suite. Also included are a fast internet connection and free use of the executive lounge, plus a special personal assistant and secretary service. In between these, at various stages of space and luxury, are the suites and terrace suites, but the bottom line is that everyone who stays at the hotel will enjoy an extremely comfortable stay and want for nothing. The hotel also comes with a superb spa, one of the very best in Ankara, to help ensure the stay is made particularly relaxing and reviving. The Salix Spa is designed especially with busy city life in mind, offering the perfect antidote to busyness as a team of Turkish and Balinese therapists provide a range of fine natural treatments.As might be expected, there is a Turkish bath, but that is not all; a sauna, steam room, Finnish bath, shock shower, hot tub and fitness centre are all included. The Salix Spa is open from 09:00. to 22:00, so you can spend as long there as you like. Ankara may be a busy place, but it is still possible to leave feeling utterly refreshed and relaxed after a stay at the Wyndham.

After a marathon of James Bond movies last weekend, I was thrilled to see London in the franchise’s last offering which was Skyfall – it has been a while since I last watched it. It gives a certain sense of pride to recognise the setting that you know you have been in; it’s a shame [...]
