Hilton has announced a new expansion push in Turkey, signing agreements to open five additional hotels across four brands – reinforcing its long-term strategy in Istanbul and strengthening its presence beyond the country’s main tourism hubs.
The new signings include properties under DoubleTree by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn and Hilton’s flagship Hilton brand. Openings are scheduled between spring 2026 and 2028.
DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul Maçka to open in spring
The first of the new hotels is expected to launch as early as next spring.
DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul Maçka will offer 109 rooms and suites, located close to Nişantaşı and Taksim Square – an area popular with both leisure travellers and business visitors.
Facilities will include a lobby lounge, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop restaurant and bar, a fitness centre, a wellness complex, and multiple meeting rooms.
Two boutique Tapestry Collection hotels planned for Istanbul
