ANKARA- Rixos Grand Ankara General Manager Tansel Tercan said that their hotel has been in great demand in Ankara over the past 3 months and said, “I think we have raised the bar in city hotel management in Türkiye.”
Tercan, General Manager of the Rixos Grand Ankara Hotel, which went into service under the Rixos hotel chain following the purchase of the Büyük Ankara Hotel, one of Ankara’s oldest hotels, held a meeting to assess its 3rd month of service in Ankara. Stating that they have been in great demand in Ankara within three months, Tercan said the following:
In terms of location, Rixos Grand Ankara, situated at the intersection of Çankaya, Esat and Kızılay, has a very central position because it is close to the buildings of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye, the Ministries, the Embassies and the General Staff. Thanks to this, although only a short period of 3 months has passed since its opening, Rixos has, in keeping with the purpose for which it was founded, become a centre where important agreements and meetings for the business and political world take place. By hosting national and international events such as Nabucco, the Ministry of Transport’s 3G Meeting and the Maserati Porsche product launch held for the first time in Türkiye, I think we have raised the bar in city hotel management in Türkiye. With our property that will open in Almaty in the coming months, after Konya, Astana and Ankara, Rixos Hotels will have an even greater say in city hotel management.
-THE HOTEL’S CHANDELIERS WERE SPECIALLY DESIGNED-
According to the information given by Tercan, the amount spent on Rixos Grand Ankara’s lighting system alone is equivalent to the money spent on the maintenance or restoration of many hotels. The 28-metre chandelier installed in the hotel’s foyer contains no fewer than 72 thousand crystal balls. The chandelier, which was manufactured in Türkiye, currently holds the title of the largest chandelier used in hotels in Türkiye. In addition, 5 million 820 thousand crystals, 480 thousand LED lights, 1 million 200 thousand metres of electrical cable and 640 thousand bags of cement were used in the construction of Rixos Grand Ankara.
By generating the electricity it needs itself through the cogeneration method, Rixos Grand Ankara ranks first among the hotels operating to Kyoto standards in Türkiye. Rixos Grand Ankara, which in this sense is Ankara’s only “green” hotel, can store surplus energy and feed it back into the system.
Holders of Rixos Grand’s 3-month, 6-month and 1-year Fitness&SPA membership packages can use the property’s swimming pool and Turkish Bath free of charge. The hotel also has a Lobby Bar that serves 24 hours a day.
-SPECIAL SUITES TO HOST HEADS OF STATE-
Rixos Grand Ankara also plays a role in hosting visiting statesmen who come to Ankara. For the hosting of Heads of State, the hotel has a Presidential suite and special suites. Rixos Grand Ankara, which has one ballroom and one exhibition hall for hosting important events, hosts important events in Ankara with its 2 conference halls and 9 meeting rooms.
