Top Hotel Projects in Turkey: 4- and 5-Star Upcoming Hotels

Turkey's hospitality world continues to expand as developers push forward with new builds and conversions in cities and coastal resort areas. From Istanbul's apart'hotel additions like Citadines Neba Garden to seaside luxury projects such as the Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Bodrum, and regional developments in Balıkesir and Tokat, the pipeline of hotels under construction is a great example of the momentum in Turkey's tourism and hospitality markets.

For hotel suppliers and other players in the hotel industry, tracking construction activity across Turkey matters for identifying openings early and connecting with developers and operators while projects are still taking shape.

Using data from the THP hotel project database, this article rounds up a selection of notable 4- and 5-star hotel projects currently in development across Turkey.

4-Star Hotels Under Construction

• Citadines Neba Garden Istanbul (Istanbul, Turkey): This four-star property is a new-build project that will offer 150 rooms. Located adjacent to the Fatih metro station and a 10-minute drive from Istanbul Ataturk Airport, the hotel sits at 34100 Istanbul. The project is being developed by Neba Gayrimenkul Yatirimlari T.A.S., with Dome + Partners serving as architect, and will operate under the Citadines apart'hotels brand from The Ascott Limited.

• Swiss Inn Premium Collection Edremit Balikesir (Balıkesir Merkez, Turkey): This hotel project is currently under construction and is a new-build project that will offer 38 rooms, with a capacity of 84 beds. Located at 10300 Balıkesir Merkez, Balikesir, the hotel will be the region's first international chain hotel. The project is being developed by Kuzen Group, with GNC Hospitality Management & Consulting handling brand and management processes. It will operate under the Swiss Inn Hotels & Resorts brand from Continent Worldwide Hotels.

Luxurious 5-Star Hotel Projects

• Bvlgari Resort & Mensions Bodrum (Bodrum, Turkey): Currently under construction, this new five-star property is a new-build project offering 184 rooms spread across a 60-hectare peninsula between two bays and featuring 10 hectares of terraced Mediterranean gardens. The hotel is located at 48483 Bodrum, Muğla, with an opening date yet to be confirmed. Cengiz Holding is developing the project, which will carry the Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts brand under Marriott International, Inc.

• Hotel Project Fatih (Fatih, Turkey): Under construction in Fatih, Tokat, this five-star conversion project will bring 24 rooms to a three-story wooden mansion rebuilt true to its original state, including all interior partitions. The property is set to open in 2027, with its ground floor housing a museum dedicated to the history of the Historic Peninsula. Studio Erk is serving as architect on the project, which will see the mansion rotated eight degrees from its original orientation to establish a healthier relationship with the new building.

What Lies Ahead for Turkey's Hotels

These four luxury hotel projects show the range of what's currently taking shape across Turkey's hotel industry. Each one targets a different part of the market, yet together they point to steady confidence in Turkey's tourism and hospitality outlook. The lack of official opening information actually gives suppliers and operators a clear window and plenty of time to plan ahead.

For hotel suppliers and other industry players, projects like these offer an early look at where new opportunities are forming, whether through brand partnerships, supply contracts, or regional market entry. Staying informed on construction activity across Turkey, and the wider DACH and Mediterranean regions, remains a useful way to spot these openings before they reach completion. Further details on these and other hotel projects can be found in the THP hotel project database.
