Where the hotel is
Özdemir Palas is a hotel in Kızılay, Ankara's city centre, set among some of the liveliest streets of the capital. Kızılay Square and Kocatepe Mosque are both a short walk away, while the historic lanes of the Hamamönü Old Quarter and Tunalı Hilmi Street are a short drive. Neighbouring hotels just a few steps away include NIF Ankara Hotel, Lion City Hotel Kızılay and Vivanova Otel.
Because of pedestrian zones and one-way streets in Kızılay, a car cannot always pull up right at the entrance. In that case your driver drops you off, or picks you up, at the nearest point the vehicle can reach. Writing the full hotel name in the booking notes helps the driver plan the approach in advance.
