The hotel stands in Konak, in central İzmir, at the junction of three boulevards, and its building is registered as a protected cultural property.
Seminars and company events
The Atlas Salonu is the hotel's meeting room. It is column-free, so every seat has a clear view of the screen or the speaker, and it has been refitted with current audiovisual and technical equipment. The hotel offers it for seminars, conferences, receptions and other company gatherings. With the restaurant and café in the same building, a full day can run without leaving the hotel: morning session, lunch, afternoon workshop and an evening walk to the seafront.
Rooms and capacities
The Atlas Salonu takes up to 30 people. The restaurant seats 40 and the café lounge 15, which suits a lunch or a coffee break for the same group. Ask the hotel for the layouts it can set in the meeting room, such as classroom, U-shape or boardroom.
Accommodation
The hotel has 50 rooms: 45 standard rooms, 4 family rooms and 1 Republic suite. Single standard rooms are also offered. The rooms were renewed with the rest of the building and are described by the hotel as bright and spacious. For a group of 30, most or all participants can stay on site.
Catering
The hotel runs its own restaurant, with 40 seats, and a café lounge for 15. Coffee breaks and lunches for a seminar can be served in-house. Confirm menus and service times with the hotel when you book the room.
History and setting
The foundations of Atlas Oteli were laid in 1956. It was the first hotel in İzmir with private bathrooms and central heating, and it has received statesmen such as Turkey's second president, İsmet İnönü, and its third president, Celal Bayar, along with ministers, artists and well-known figures. On March 22, 2000, the İzmir Regional Board No. 1 for the Protection of Cultural Property registered the building as a protected immovable cultural asset. Inside, the high entrance hall and the historic artworks on display set it apart from other city hotels. Tens of thousands of people pass in front of it every day.
Getting there
The hotel is at Şair Eşref Bulvarı No. 1, İsmet Kaptan district, 35210 Konak, İzmir. The Gazi Bulvarı tram stop, Çankaya metro station and several bus stops are right next to the hotel, which links it to the whole city. The historic Kemeraltı bazaar, İzmir's oldest and largest open market, and the Kordon seafront are within walking distance. İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport is the nearest airport, and the metro and suburban rail connect the center with the rest of the city.
