IHG Hotels & Resorts expands in Türkiye with new Holiday Inn Resort signing in Bodrum

Turkey

IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, has signed an agreement for the development of Holiday Inn Resort Bodrum West Beach, in collaboration with Uslu Turizm Insaat Tasimacilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.

This new project follows the success of Holiday Inn Resort Bodrum and will become the second Holiday Inn Resort in the region. It also adds to IHG’s growing presence in Türkiye, with 33 hotels currently open and 17 more in the pipeline.

Scheduled to open in mid-2026, the 460-room resort will further solidify IHG’s position in the Turkish leisure market. Located along the Aegean coast near Turgutreis Marina, the resort will offer panoramic views of the sea and direct access to a sandy beach. Designed with families and leisure travellers in mind, amenities will include a large pool, spa, bar, event and conference spaces, and more.

Guests at Holiday Inn Resort Bodrum West Beach will enjoy proximity to beaches, nightlife, and cultural attractions, as well as easy access to yachting and nearby Greek islands like Kos, making it an ideal destination for both relaxation and exploration.

Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe at IHG Hotels & Resorts, commented:

“Turgutreis is one of the most vibrant destinations in Bodrum, attracting both international and local travellers. This strategic signing allows us to introduce the Holiday Inn Resort brand in another key leisure location in Türkiye. We are proud to partner with Uslu Turizm Insaat Tasimacilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and look forward to bringing this exciting vision to life by combining their local insight with IHG’s global expertise and brand strength.”

Ersin Uslu, Owner of Uslu Turizm Insaat Tasimacilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., added:

“We are delighted to work with IHG to realise this beautiful new resort. Their established presence in Türkiye and flexible approach – including seasonal offerings such as all-inclusive in high season and room-only in low season – give us great confidence. We are certain that Holiday Inn Resort Bodrum West Beach will stand out as a unique destination and contribute meaningfully to the region’s tourism development.”

Holiday Inn, one of the most recognised hotel brands in the world, was founded to offer consistent, welcoming travel experiences for families and business travellers alike. Today, the brand continues to evolve to meet the changing expectations of modern travellers, while honouring its legacy of comfort and inclusivity.

With this new addition, the number of Holiday Inn brand properties (open and in development) in Türkiye now reaches 20. The new resort will join IHG’s existing presence in the country across five brands: Six Senses, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Express, and Holiday Inn.
