Ramada Encore by Wyndham Izmir

Tucked into Balçova’s shopping-and-spa district inside Egepark Shopping Mall. Minutes from the EXPO fair area and Balçova Cable Car, and close to Izmir City Forest, Levent Marina and a nearby bird sanctuary. Adnan Menderes Airport is about 11 miles away, and a pet-friendly option is available with restrictions.

Stylish, modern rooms with panoramic sea and mountain views. The property offers 176 individually styled rooms, 3 corner suites and accessible rooms, many with private balconies, minibars and LED TVs. Expect a lively lobby hub and a snug, contemporary vibe rather than a stuffy hotel feel.

Stay fit in a 24-hour fitness center and exercise room, or step through to the linked Euphoria Plus spa facility for a pool, Turkish bath and sauna for an extra fee. On-site shopping, parking and a small garden area round out practical comforts—wake up to sea-breeze mornings from many balconies.

Conference space, meeting rooms and a business center with computer station and express check-in make this a solid pick for events. Wired and wireless internet access keeps things connected during meetings.

An on-site restaurant, café and bar/lounge serve buffet breakfast, snacks and a rotating Food & Beverage menu with local touches. There’s also a dedicated food hub area for quick bites and laid-back evenings.
