Where the hotel is
Downtown Ankara Hotel is set in the Söğütözü business district on Eskişehir Road, among the shopping centres and office blocks of the capital's modern western side. Armada Mall is a short walk away, while Middle East Technical University (METU), Kentpark Mall and Anıtkabir are each a short drive. The hotel stands right beside Grand Mercure Ankara, with Mövenpick Ankara and JW Marriott Hotel Ankara just a few minutes' walk away.
