Ramada Encore, a tier of the Ramada® brand, offers modern and ergonomically designed accommodation that features stylish wooden floors in each guest room, innovative bathroom pods featuring walk-in power showers and vibrant social spaces such as The Hub, Ramada Encore’s signature lounge, restaurant and bar concept.

The introduction and planned expansion of Ramada Encore adds to Wyndham Hotel Group’s growing portfolio of hotels in Turkey, which already includes three upscale Wyndham Hotels and Resorts® properties, two select-service TRYP by Wyndham® hotels and 17 Ramada hotels across Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, Bodrum, Izmit, Kahramanmaras, Malatya and Tekirdag.

“We’re very excited to expand our presence with the first Ramada Encore in Turkey and we look forward to rolling out the concept to new locations throughout the country,” said Eric Danziger, Wyndham Hotel Group’s president and chief executive officer.

 “Catering perfectly to the growing numbers of travellers looking for all the comfort and convenience of an internationally renowned midscale brand, we’re confident the simplicity of Ramada Encore will prove as popular in Turkey as it has elsewhere in Europe and Asia.”

The 168-room Ramada Encore Izmir offers a fitness centre, on-site indoor car parking and meeting rooms accommodating up to 200 delegates. The hotel’s convenient location in the Egepark Shopping Mall is just seven miles from central Izmir and a mere 11 miles from Adnan Menderes Airport.

“When we started this project last year, the 22-storey site was an abandoned multipurpose unit,” said Selen Ersü, chief executive officer of Ever Turizm A.S. “Following extensive renovation it now provides quality, comfortable accommodation and serves as a flagship for future development of the Ramada Encore concept in the market.”

Wyndham Hotel Group is based in Parsippany, NJ.

Ever Turizm A.Ş. is a 13-year-old company that aims to deliver quality and customer satisfaction. The company started in the medical sector and has expanded into the tourism sector, having signed agreements with renowned international hotel brands for projects in Turkey, and aims to establish itself as a leading hotel operator.
