JW Marriott to Open in Turkish Capital
Published on: July 14, 2009

International architectural company RMJM has designed, on behalf of developer Ozkar Construction Co., a new JW Marriott hotel that will help “green” the Sogutozu district of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. Located on a 14,000-square-meter site, the 24-story JW Marriott Hotel devotes the first four floors to ballrooms, meeting facilities, restaurants and shops in a sky-lit galleria, with guest rooms starting on the fifth floor. The plan also includes an underground parking garage. Featuring more than 400 guest rooms, the form of the building allows special opportunities for suite rooms at the corners of each floor. Construction is underway on the luxury hotel, which will be operated by JW Marriott Hotels and Resorts. The hotel is slated for completion in October 2010. The hotel will bring innovative sustainable design to Ankara and will include a unique design of vertical stone fins that will act as solar shading devices on the east and west facades. The glass curtain wall uses environmentally friendly materials such as high-performing, low-e coating and tinting that contributes to the reduced solar heat gain. Plentiful bamboo trees and vegetation will be included in the landscape to offer additional shading at the site. Other hotel features include an upscale bistro on the ground level of the hotel tower along with three other specialty restaurants. An executive lounge will be located on the top of the hotel tower and will feature sweeping views of Ankara. An outdoor wedding venue will be located on the terrace directly above the main 1,500-square-meter ballroom. A health center and spa will also be included in the new hotel with indoor and outdoor swimming pools. For more information, visit www.marriott.com.
