Where the hotel is
Vivanova Otel is a city hotel in Kızılay, just off the square that forms the centre of modern Ankara. Kızılay Square is a short walk away and the Kocatepe Mosque a few minutes on foot; the Hamamönü Old Quarter, Anıtkabir, Gençlik Park and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations are a short drive. Neighbouring hotels include Özdemir Palas, NIF Ankara Hotel and VE Hotels Adakale.
If your flight lands late in the evening or is prone to delays, give us your flight number when booking. The driver follows the flight and adjusts the pick-up at Esenboğa Airport to the actual landing time, so you are met with a name sign even after a delay. Cancellation is free if your plans change.
