Hilton Garden Inn Mardin  

Perched above the Mesopotamian plateau, this modern hotel watches over the ancient stone city of Mardin. Located en route to Mardin Airport and in the city centre, it's minutes from the Mardin Center for the Arts, Kasımiye Medresesi and Kirklar Kilisesi — a compact, family-friendly base for exploring historic streets.

Rooms are stylish and contemporary with luxury sleep systems, air-conditioning, refrigerators, 32-inch LCD TVs and roomy desks with ergonomic chairs. Family-friendly room options and in-room safes make it practical for travelers who want comfort after wandering the old town.

Relax in an indoor swimming pool or spa tub, or energize in the 24-hour fitness center. On-site conveniences include a 24-hour pantry, evening room service, complimentary wired and wireless internet and free parking — plus a sleek bar for post-sightseeing drinks.

Flexible meeting rooms and a divisible ballroom with up-to-date A/V equipment handle events of different sizes. A 24-hour business center provides printing, copying and fax services, supported by a 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff.

Begin the day with a freshly prepared breakfast and dine on local and international dishes at the on-site restaurant. Room service is available during limited hours, and the bar serves cocktails alongside regional flavors.
