The Karia Princess is Bodrum's only 5 star downtown hotel and is conveniently located in the centre of this Turkish resort. Literally all of Bodrum's important and interesting sights are within comfortable walking distance. The ancient Amphitheater, the Castle of St. Peter, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, and Myndos Gate are only ten minutes away. Whether you are boutique shopping for the latest fashions, extravagant leather goods, luxurious jewelry, Turkish carpets and handicrafts, or merely out people watching in one the countless outdoor cafes – it is all within easy reach. Bodrum is also a 24 hour resort and plays host to some of the world's most remarkable night clubs and discos including the famous giant catamaran ‘floating disco' which departs nightly from the inner harbor for an outrageous night of dancing and partying at sea. Inspired by local architecture the Karia Princess Hotel offers 60 comfortable, spacious and tastefully furnished guestrooms and suites with private balconies and air conditioning. Just across the road from the Karia Princess there is a separate annex building, known as the Karia Residence, which houses a further 54 rooms finished in a contemporary style. These rooms are popular with families and small groups looking for good value accommodation with the added benefit of being able to use all the facilities of the Karia Princess Hotel itself. Set amongst the tropical style planting in the fantastic hotel gardens, guests will find an inviting swimming pool area, a children's playground and a tennis court (which is floodlight at night). There is also a fitness room with weights and cardiovascular equipment, a pool table, board games and table tennis. If all that seems just a little too energetic you may prefer the Karia Princess Hotels wellness area where there is a domed Hamam (Turkish Bath) which is the largest of its kind on the Bodrum peninsula, a Finnish sauna and a variety of professional massages, beauty treatments, aromatherapy and optional yoga and meditation lessons. Finally, no visit to the Bodrum area of Turkey would be complete without exploring the many bays and attractive coastline by boat so the hotel now has its own private yacht available for daily charter tours.
