Doubletree by Hilton Şanlıurfa, designed by Designist, welcomes its guests with its monumental facade shaped with Urfa stone. Inspired by tradition, the hotel embraces the four elements of ancient geography: Earth, fire, water, and air. On the first step to the lobby, the chandelier located above the main entrance embraces its visitor like the Göbeklitepe wind and the undulating white ceiling above the lobby and reception area merges with the silently flowing waterfall wall to salute Şanlıurfa’s sacred Balıklıgöl. Opposite the reception area, a high travertine monumental wall was designed, emphasizing local earthen pots baked with geometric shapes and symbols, again inspired by Göbeklitepe. The fireplace in the lobby area aimed to warm the guests with the crackle of burning logs.
In order to reflect the spirit of the city in every room, the Designist used circular framed artworks inspired by Şanlıurfa’s Balıklıgöl, hand-painted by local artists. Doubletree by Hilton Şanlıurfa, the first international 5-star hotel of Şanlıurfa, which is the cradle of cultures and fascinates with its thousand-year history, offers a unique accommodation experience with its design in which ancient motifs accompany modern architecture and its location close to many historical and cultural attractions.
SpaSoul, the spa center of Doubletree by Hilton Şanlıurfa, whose walls are shaped by Urfa stone’s soothing earth tones and texture, is prepared to take its guests on a relaxing journey. The pool in navy blue tones has created a pleasant reflecting surface for the indirectly illuminated arcade, just like Urfa’s parliament blue sky and the star Sirius (Şira) reflected from the floodplains of Göbeklitepe.
