DoubleTree by Hilton Trabzon  

On Turkey’s Black Sea coast in Trabzon, a seafront 5-star hotel with direct beach access. Minutes from the city center and about 15 minutes to the airport, it sits close to Hagia Sophia Mosque, the Atatürk Pavilion, Trabzon Museum, Şenol Güneş Stadium and the Boztepe lookout.

Marine-inspired art by Trabzon artists dots the lobby and corridors for a local, contemporary vibe. The property has 189 rooms and suites with tall picture windows, complimentary Wi-Fi, 42-inch HDTVs, mini-bar, coffeemaker and a work desk.
