Beypazarı İpekyolu Konağı

About Beypazarı İpekyolu Konağı

Beypazarı İpekyolu Konağı is a small hotel in a traditional-style konak in the centre of Beypazarı, the historic market town about 100 km north-west of Ankara known for its white, bay-windowed Ottoman houses. The hotel presents itself as carrying on the old han (inn) tradition of the historic Silk Road route through the town, a family business it says has been handed down through generations, and describes itself as the first and only konak in Beypazarı to hold a star rating from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Its website shows timber-finished rooms, a lobby and a 360-degree virtual tour, and room categories range from standard to superior and larger king rooms. The location is the main draw. The konak stands on Eski Hükümet Caddesi opposite the Halkbank branch, about 50 metres from the town's landmark giant carrot sculpture. The Living Museum, the City History Museum, Suluhan, the Turkish Bath Museum, the restored konak streets, the silversmiths' bazaar, Sultan Alaattin Sokak and Paşa Camii are all within walking distance, and the İnözü Valley and Hıdırlık Tepesi viewpoint are about five minutes away by car. Many of the old mansions nearby operate as restaurants, so dinner is a short stroll. Bookings can be made by phone or through the hotel's website.
