The Efes Swissotel always provides an outstanding experience while staying there. Quality rooms and delicious food come with the stay. On our recent overnight there I accidentally forgot my Bluetooth computer mouse on the desk. When I wrote the hotel to see if it was found by the cleaning staff, I received a reply within hours. Then Öykü Coşkun, the Housekeeping Office Coordinator, offered to ship it to me in Antalya. I received it two days later. I travel in many countries including the United States, and never have I experienced this level of professionalism and service before. The management and staff of the Swissotel need to be commended for their high level of professionalism. Great job, everyone!

The Grand Efes Swissôtel: The Pinnacle of Urban Luxury in İzmir During my recent visit to İzmir, I had the pleasure of staying at İzmir Büyük Efes Swissôtel, the city’s finest urban hotel, for nearly two weeks. This is not merely a hotel—it is an experience, a harmonious blend of luxury, comfort, and impeccable service, all set within an expansive estate that offers both tranquility and accessibility at the heart of the city. One of the defining aspects of Swissôtel Büyük Efes is its spaciousness—a rare luxury for a city hotel. The property is nestled within a vast landscape, providing ample walking areas, giving guests the freedom to move, breathe, and unwind. The fitness center is exceptionally well-equipped, far exceeding the standards of most hotel gyms, while the sauna and steam rooms are maintained to an impeccable level of quality and hygiene. A Service That Feels Personal, Not Transactional What truly distinguishes Swissôtel Büyük Efes is its people. In an industry where city hotels often lean toward being overly corporate, rigid, and excessively commercial—especially in Turkey—this establishment defies the norm. It embodies hospitality in its purest form, seamlessly blending professionalism with warmth. My sincere gratitude goes to General Manager Pamela Hanım, whose gracious hospitality and keen attention to detail made my stay exceptionally pleasant. A special acknowledgment to Süleyman Bey, who personally oversaw various aspects of my experience, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. In the Executive Lounge, I was met with exemplary service from an exceptional team. Melike Hanım, Tarık Bey, and Emre Bey went above and beyond, offering a level of attentiveness that made my stay all the more enjoyable. Their professionalism, warmth, and dedication did not go unnoticed, and for that, I extend my deepest appreciation. Additionally, I would like to express my special thanks to Dilşat Hanım, Ecem Hanım, and Doğa Hanım for their outstanding hospitality. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made my experience even more memorable. I truly appreciate their efforts and congratulate them on their exceptional guest service. The Art of Housekeeping: Beyond Cleanliness, a Philosophy of Comfort There is cleaning a room, and then there is elevating a space to a sanctuary of comfort and symmetry. Hafize Hanım, who took care of my room, belongs to the latter category. She did not just clean—she curated an environment of hygiene, order, and aesthetic balance, ensuring that every element of the room felt harmonized and intentional. Such dedication is not common, and for her diligence and excellence, I offer my sincerest thanks. A Seamless Stay in the Heart of İzmir One of the greatest advantages of Swissôtel Büyük Efes is its prime location. Situated in the very heart of İzmir, the hotel provides effortless access to the city’s finest seafood restaurants, the scenic promenade for leisurely walks, and countless cultural and social attractions. The property itself has been meticulously maintained, ensuring that comfort and sophistication remain at the forefront of the guest experience. My time here was not just comfortable—it was seamless, effortless, and truly enjoyable. I left not only with a sense of satisfaction but also with the conviction that this is a hotel worth recommending. For those seeking an elevated city stay in İzmir, Swissôtel Büyük Efes is undoubtedly the pinnacle of urban luxury. I am grateful to the entire team for making my stay so memorable, and I look forward to returning. With appreciation, Murat A.

I stayed here on a working dental Vacation.. Friendly & Helpful Staff… Great facilities for working out of office and plenty of quiet places to rest between visits to and from the dentist… Quality restaurants within the hotel…and plenty of choice just walking distance from the hotel

Lovely cleaner Hafize was very sweet to check up in me in the evening to offer me water, towels etc., which just shows that the hotel really cares for the clients and makes sure that everyone is well taken care of. It is truly a good quality of service!
