Hilton has a long and established history in Turkey, having opened its first hotel there, the Hilton Istanbul, in 1955. The company now operates nine Turkish properties in total, including one Conrad - across six locations (Adana, Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Kayseri, Mersin). The company plans to introduce its mid-market Hilton Garden Inn brand later this year with the opening of its first property in Kutahya.

Simon Vincent, President of Hilton Hotels - Europe said: “Over the past 50 years we have built a significant Hilton presence in Turkey so we are delighted to be adding our first dedicated resort property to our portfolie.”

Located on Sarigerme beach next to the mouth of the Dalaman River, the new Hilton Dalaman Golf Resort & Spa offers a total of 410 guest rooms, including 52 suites. Combining contemporary design and the latest in-room, all guest rooms offer private balconies with views of the Aegian Sea or Sarigerme mountain range.
 
Complete with its own private kilometre long beach, Hilton Dalaman Golf Resort & Spa is made up of a series of interconnecting buildings, pools and landscaped gardens. The resort offers a range of leisure facilities, including an integrated 6000m² health club and spa with gym and treatment rooms, seven outdoor and three indoor swimming pools and two tennis courts. For families there is also a dedicated children’s swimming area and on-site Aqua Park with water slides and relaxation pool.

Scheduled to open in 2010, the resort’s 18-hole golf course and nine-hole golf academy facility will position the property to be Dalaman’s premier golf retreat.
 
The hotel also offers a year-round, flexible meeting and conference space scheduled to open at the beginning of 2010.
