Hyatt Hotels Corporation announces the launch of Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark, the second Grand Hyatt hotel in Türkiye and a reflection of Grand Hyatt’s growing brand presence in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Previously managed under the Hyatt Regency brand, the property has undergone a redesign of its public areas, providing guests with an enhanced arrival experience.

Located in the center of İzmir, where the city meets the sea, Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark has a favorable urban environment complemented by beautiful views of the coast. Located in Izmir’s Balçova district, the hotel is integrated into the prestigious İstinyePark İzmir shopping center, just minutes from the historic heart of the city, where guests can explore the famous Kemeraltı Bazaar and the iconic Clock Tower and enjoy breathtaking views from the historic elevator tower, one of the city’s most famous landmarks. For those looking to explore further afield, the hotel serves as a gateway to the region’s most sought-after destinations, such as Urla, a gastronomic haven with charming vineyards, Çeşme, known for its picturesque beaches, and Ephesus, one of the greatest ancient cities in the world. Located just 20 minutes from Adnan Menderes International Airport, the hotel offers easy access for both business and leisure travelers.
“Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark reflects the vibrant rhythm of İzmir while honoring the city’s rich Aegean heritage,” said Zafer Canbaz, General Manager of Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark. “As part of the Grand Hyatt brand, we are proud to introduce a new hotel experience that brings together bold design, high-end service and dynamic culinary experiences. We are excited to open the next chapter for our hotel as a sophisticated and social destination for both business and leisure travelers.”
Rooms with beautiful views of the Gulf
The rooms at Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark were designed by DeSallesFlint Interior Design, while the Penthouse Suite was exclusively designed by Autoban. The hotel features 160 carefully curated rooms, each bathed in natural light and fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the Gulf of İzmir. Each room features spacious balconies and refined comforts, including an in-room bar, 65″ UHD TV and premium blackout curtains. Subtle technology enhances the guest experience, from motion-activated night lighting to heated, all-marble bathroom floors, sinks and sensor-based systems.
A contemporary setting meets Aegean design
Inspired by modern coastal living and the timeless spirit of the Aegean, Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark combines sleek architectural lines with warm, natural materials. Rich woods, marble textures and soft neutral tones create an elegant and inviting atmosphere throughout. The new courtyard entrance and lobby, designed by GEO ID Architects, acts as a sophisticated urban retreat that reflects the energy of the city. Expansive glass facades draw attention to the uninterrupted sea views, and the hotel also displays nearly 40 works of art from Orjin Group’s private collection. Approximately 20,000 square meters of natural stone cladding adorns the property, evoking a timeless and refined aesthetic.
Serene wellness on the coast
The hotel features extensive wellness facilities, including a 1,360 square meter spa with an outdoor pool, where guests can enjoy a tranquil setting overlooking the glittering Aegean coast. A curated selection of signature treatments and personalized wellness experiences are available, ranging from an aromatic hammam treatment to an argan or full moon ritual, alongside internationally recognized spa brands. The fitness center, with panoramic views, offers personal training services.
Refined dining experiences
Dining at the Grand Hyatt İzmir İstinyePark invites guests on a culinary journey. The Bay Restaurant serves as the main dining venue, while The Park Bar, next to the main lobby, is the perfect spot for afternoon tea or a signature cocktail. A standout option is FARO7, the hotel’s new all-day a la carte restaurant, located outside the hotel entrance on the ground floor and inspired by the motto ‘Follow the Light’. Combining modern cuisine with a stylish setting, FARO7 features signature cocktails, an extensive wine cellar, exclusive whiskey pairings and an open-air terrace in the main courtyard, creating a vibrant social enclave in the center of İzmir. In the coming months, the hotel will further enhance the guest experience with the opening of the Grand Club, which offers an exclusive and sophisticated space for relaxation, personalized service and a curated culinary offering for eligible guests.
Custom-made meeting and event spaces
Designed for both business and social gatherings, the hotel offers 2,000 square meters of flexible meeting and event space, complemented by a 500 square meter enclosed foyer. The 10 meeting rooms, including a 629 square meter ballroom, can accommodate conferences, board meetings, weddings and fashion shows, all against the backdrop of the Aegean coast. Select areas, including the Grand Ballroom, İstinye Ballroom and two medium-sized meeting rooms, offer direct access to the terrace, allowing events to be seamlessly extended outdoors.
