Airport and city center hotel chain Yotel announced plans to open a 451-room property at the soon-to-open Istanbul New Airport.

The property will have “landside” and “airside” sections, with 349 rooms landside and 102 airside. Both areas will be constructed with the brand’s Club Lounge concept, including “smart vending, co-working and relaxing areas, wellness centers and planted glazed atriums to connect people with nature.” The landside area will involve a restaurant, bar, gym, and flexible meeting spaces.

The new airport is set to open Oct. 29, while The Yotel property has not yet announced an opening date.

The Yotel brand started out as an airport-only concept in 2007, launching first in Gatwick (LGW). It’s gradually expanded to include urban properties.

“We’ve witnessed Turkey’s, and particularly Istanbul’s remarkable economic and urban development, transformation and its noticeably increased popularity over the past few years. Istanbul New Airport will only further increase Istanbul’s ever-expanding popularity and economy, and Yotel is delighted to be a part of it,” said Yotel’s CEO Hubert Viriot. “The prevailing ambitious vision to make İstanbul New Airport the largest transit hub in the world made it very attractive for us to be there, and we are extremely honored to be chosen for this exciting project. This city aspires to high growth success, just like Yotel, so we are a perfect match.”
