Ece Saray Boutique Hotel

If you would like to stay in an authentic Turkish seaside town, but prefer accommodation with more than a touch of international flair and luxury, the stylish Ece Saray should fit the bill perfectly. Situated just a 10-minute stroll from the centre of town, in the prestigious Birinci Karagozler area, the Ece Saray stands on the edge of the sea, next to the smart Ece Marina yacht harbour. Its elegant façade with its wrought-iron French balconies and the manicured gardens leading down to the sea almost conjure up images of the French Riviera, and the comfortable interiors do not disappoint.

In spite of its apparent grandeur, the Ece Saray has actually been designed on a rather intimate scale, with just 34 rooms and 14 suites. All are well furnished and decorated, and equipped with all the amenities you would expect in a hotel of this calibre, such as telephones, satellite TV, mini-bars, tea & coffee making facilities, safety deposit boxes, air-conditioning and luxurious en-suite bathrooms with bathtub, power-shower and hairdryer. For special occasions, suites with a separate lounge and a Jacuzzi bathtub are available at a supplement.

The hotel's swimming pool is an excellent size and the surrounding terrace is well-stocked with comfortable sunloungers for those days when you simply wish to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine. Those wishing to dedicate their holiday to serious de-stressing will find an up-to-date spa centre in the hotel. The hotel also boasts a sauna, a Turkish bath and a well-equipped gym, useful for burning off any excess calories acquired from the extensive breakfast buffet!

When you can tear yourself away from this haven of refinement, all the attractions of Fethiye are easily reached on foot, and you can explore further a field by hiring a car, using the public bus services or joining one of the many boat trips from the nearby harbour. A wide selection of restaurants and bars can be found within easy walking distance, but you should certainly not forget to try the hotel's own restaurant, which enjoys a fine reputation locally, or the rooftop bar, which is especially delightful at sunset.
