Hotels
Maçakizi
Usually ranked as Bodrum's number one
hotel, and for good reason, with unique qualities such as a magnificent
view, proximity to the sea, first class food, charm and laid back, low
key comfort. The hotel is operated by Sahir, the son of Ayla, a Grand
Old Lady of Bodrum, who founded the hotel. Walking paths wind to and
from the bungalows and the open air gym. Below the hotel is one of the
most chic and frequented jettys in Göltürkbükü. The rooms are light and
airy, with coarse wooden floors and thick white curtains. The
tastefully manicure wilderness of the garden is charming, with a
splendid wealth of blazing flowers. The famous restaurant serves an
innovative Mediterranean fare. A gigantic fireplace in the restaurant
manages to serve as a meeting point for the entire hotel.

Ada Hotel
Perhaps
patron Vedat Semiz had an Ottoman palace in mind when he created Ada
Hotel some twelve years ago. This towering stone fortress boasts
imposing dining halls, charming tower rooms, medieval style fire places
and an amazing antique hamman in traditional marble. The hotel is
picturesquely framed by olive trees climbing over the stone walls. The
floors squeek, the couches are low and the rugs have sophisticated
oriental patterns.
Ada Hotel is a member in the Relais &
Chauteau group and the fourteen uniquely decorated rooms breathe of
genuine luxury and old money. Ada attracts a somewhat older crowd less
than fond of screaming chlidren or rowdy neighbors. The hotel hasn't
bothered updating its entertainment services to please younger younger
guests. There is indeed something of a home cinema in the basement, but
no broadband access, and the music equipment in the rooms are certainly
from the past century. The most luxurious suites have their own private
pool. There is also an invitingly turqoise pool in the hotel's front
yard.
