Dubai : Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is accelerating its growth in Türkiye, expanding its Istanbul footprint with two new Ramada-branded openings. The additions include the brand’s first-ever branded residences in the country, alongside a new hotel, marking another milestone for one of the world’s most recognizable hotel brands. The Ramada by Wyndham Arnavutköy is the perfect base for travellers on the go, just 15km from Istanbul International Airport, while Ramada Residences by Wyndham Istanbul Haramidere combines the services and amenities of a hotel with the comforts and conveniences of home.
“As we continue to grow across Türkiye, Istanbul maintains its special place in our growth strategy, where we now have more than 40 hotels. The opening of our first branded-residences marks a significant milestone, catering to the rising demand for accessible, experiential living in the upper midscale market. These two openings are a testament to the flexibility our Ramada brand offers for a wide range of hospitality concepts and different guest needs.”

A World-Renowned Hotel Brand Offering the Comforts of Home
Branded residences are a rising trend in hospitality with the number of global projects nearly tripling over the past 10 years, presenting a growth of 19% in 2025 alone. As the world’s largest hotel franchisor, Wyndham is at the forefront of this shift. With an established portfolio of trusted brands in the premium economy and upper-midscale markets, Wyndham is well-positioned to serve this growing segment of discerning buyers. Research suggests a strong and sustained momentum expected in the coming years as branded residences further expand to new markets.
Ramada Residences by Wyndham İstanbul Haramidere joins a growing portfolio of Wyndham-branded Residences globally that cater to this demand. The hotel features a total of 81 guest rooms and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments offering fully equipped kitchens, spacious living areas and in-room laundry facilities in selected units. Purpose designed for comfort and flexibility, the range of room types cater to a diverse mix of visitors from families to business travellers and long-term guests.
Guests and residents alike can enjoy plush amenities including a seasonal outdoor pool, the Elevate Restaurant serving international cuisine in a relaxed setting, a café with a cosy winter garden, and wellness facilities including a fitness centre and a spa with a traditional Turkish bath and sauna, as well as daytime room service. Located on the European side of the city, the property features a private parking lot, and its proximity to the D-100 motorway and bus rapid transit line offers easy access within Istanbul.
“Ramada Residences by Wyndham İstanbul Haramidere has opened at a pivotal time as travellers increasingly seek flexibility, space and brand reliability. The trust the Ramada brand evokes in Türkiye and around the world adds great value, combining global brand standards with residential-style comfort. As we enter this new segment, we’re backed by the confidence and support of the country’s largest international hotel chain.”
