About Anadolu Hotels Esenboğa Thermal

Anadolu Hotels Esenboğa Thermal is a large thermal, conference and resort complex right beside Esenboğa Airport, about 27 km north-east of central Ankara. It is one of the facilities of the Türk Metal union, which describes it as having 90,000 m² of indoor space. According to its owner, the complex has 249 hotel rooms and 105 self-contained apartments, a congress hall for 2,500 people and 11 further meeting rooms for 50 to 300 people, which makes it a regular venue for congresses, weddings and company events. Thermal water is piped in from the Melikşah area of Çubuk district; booking sites list the water at 37-39°C, with separate men's and women's thermal pools. Note that the rooms themselves do not have thermal water. Leisure facilities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a traditional Turkish bath, sauna, fitness room and the Jasmine Spa, which offers massages and treatments. In summer an aquapark with water slides opens, with a slide pool for children; use of the aquapark is charged. The Selçuklu Restaurant serves international dishes, and there are bars on site. The hotel opened in 2001 and has since been renovated in phases. Check-in is from 14:00. Because of its position next to the terminal it is a practical choice for early flights or for combining a thermal break with a stopover in Ankara.
