Holiday Inn Ankara - Cukurambar by IHG
Terrace and garden anchor a five-star Cukurambar stay
About this hotel
Holiday Inn Ankara - Cukurambar by IHG runs its five-star offering around a sun terrace, garden, and spa facilities with sauna, a combination that gives the property an outdoor and wellness focus beyond the standard business-hotel formula. The hotel provides private check-in and check-out, a lounge, steam room, and wellness packages, alongside a fitness room and full-day security, and its restaurant serves Turkish and international cuisine with a continental or buffet breakfast that guests have specifically praised for its range of pastries, cheese, and fruit. Located 32 kilometers from Esenboga Airport, the property sits within Cukurambar's business and shopping district, and couples rate the location 9.3 for a two-person trip, one of the strongest scores among comparable Cukurambar properties.
- Sun terrace and garden
- Sauna and steam room
- Business-district location
Our take
This suits business travelers and couples who want a garden and terrace setting within Ankara's Cukurambar business district rather than the older city centre. It works less well for guests prioritizing walkable access to historic sights like Ankara Castle, since the location favors the newer commercial district over the old town, and a Kizilay or Ulus-based hotel would suit that itinerary better.
- ✓Book the buffet breakfast in advance if traveling as a couple; guests specifically highlight its variety of pastries and fresh fruit.
- ✓Ask about wellness packages at check-in if the spa and sauna are a priority for your stay, since options vary by season.
- ✓Use the private check-in service if arriving during a busy conference period in Cukurambar's business district.

Why guests love itWe picked this Holiday Inn mainly for the terrace and garden, and it turned out to be the right call for a slower few days in Cukurambar. Breakfast lived up to its reputation, a genuinely wide spread of pastries and fresh fruit each morning. The sauna after a day of walking around the business district was a small but real highlight, and the private check-in made arriving after a long flight noticeably easier.
