Dora Beytepe Otel entrance – hotel close to Bilkent City Hospital and Hacettepe

In recent years, Ankara has become an increasingly prominent city in both health tourism and the business world. On the one hand, major healthcare institutions such as Bilkent City Hospital and Hacettepe University Hospitals serve thousands of patients from across Türkiye and abroad; on the other, Hacettepe Teknokent and the surrounding business centres draw many professionals from the technology and corporate sectors to the city. Both groups of guests share a common need: a reliable, quiet, flexible and easily accessible place to stay. Dora Beytepe Otel is located at the heart of the Beytepe–Çayyolu–Ümitköy–İncek crossroads precisely to meet this need. In this article, we take a detailed look at what to consider when choosing a hotel in Ankara for health tourism and business travel, and at the advantages Dora Beytepe Otel offers these two different groups of guests.

Why Has Ankara Become a Rising Centre for Health Tourism?

In recent years, Türkiye has become one of the world's most popular destinations for health tourism. In 2025, the number of foreign patients travelling to Türkiye for healthcare reached 1,398,580, and revenue from the sector reached US$3.022 billion. In the first quarter of 2026, the figures stood at 302,487 patients and US$761.5 million in revenue, an increase of around 39% in revenue per patient compared with the previous year. Germany, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Russia, Libya and the Gulf countries are among the main countries patients come from, while demand from Central Asia, led by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, is also rising noticeably. Aesthetic and plastic surgery, hair transplants, dental treatment, eye care, orthopaedics, cardiology, oncology, IVF treatment and obesity surgery are among the main areas for which foreign patients choose Türkiye.

Ankara holds an important place in this picture. In Newsweek's list of Türkiye's Best Hospitals for 2026, Hacettepe University Hospital ranks 2nd nationwide, while Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, one of the country's largest hospitals with more than 3,700 beds, is also among the institutions on the list. In addition, under a technical support partnership signed between the Ankara Development Agency and the Ankara Provincial Health Directorate, work is under way to standardise international patient processes and raise service quality. All of these developments are steadily turning Ankara into an ever stronger health tourism centre for patients from both within Türkiye and abroad.

The Importance of Accommodation in Health Tourism: What Does Dora Beytepe Otel Offer?

For patients and their relatives travelling from other cities or from abroad for medical reasons, the accommodation side of things can be just as uncertain as the treatment itself. Hospital rules that prevent visitors other than companions from staying in the hospital after certain hours, treatment that may take longer than expected, and foreign patients' need for language support, cultural familiarity and a sense of security all make choosing the right hotel critical.

Dora Beytepe Otel is around 12-15 minutes by car from Ankara Bilkent City Hospital and around 10-15 minutes from Hacettepe University Hospitals. As well as short stays (1-2 nights), we offer long-term stay options at special rates for guests whose treatment takes longer. The hotel has quiet, restful rooms, free parking, fast Wi-Fi and a luggage storage service that is also available outside check-in and check-out times. Our in-house prayer room is also available for guests from abroad. Because we know how unpredictable a hospital stay can be, we provide direct support by phone and WhatsApp for late check-in requests and flexible booking and cancellation terms. You can find more detailed information on health tourism and companion stays on our Hotel near Ankara City Hospital page.

Why Choose the Beytepe Area for Business Travel in Ankara?

Beytepe, in Ankara's Çankaya district, sits on the city's academic and technology axis: it is home to Hacettepe University Beytepe Campus and Hacettepe Teknokent and is also close to Bilkent University. For technology professionals working on projects at Hacettepe Teknokent, corporate guests visiting the area on business, and meeting or conference attendees, Beytepe combines a quiet, safe environment with easy access to the city centre. Our hotel is about 10-15 minutes by car from Hacettepe Teknokent and Bilkent University, about 25-30 minutes from the city centre (Kızılay) and about 40 minutes from Esenboğa Airport. Koru Metro Station (M2 line) is about a 6-minute drive away, which also makes getting around the city by public transport easy.

What Business Travellers Expect from a Hotel and the Solutions Dora Beytepe Otel Offers

A business traveller's expectations of a hotel differ from those of a holidaymaker: fast internet, a calm room suitable for working, a space for meetings and flexible pricing if the trip is extended are among the key needs. At Dora Beytepe Otel, we have technically equipped meeting rooms for business meetings and corporate events. Alongside uninterrupted high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, our rooms come with comforts such as a TV, fridge and kettle, so guests can easily settle into their own routine during a business trip. VIP check-in and VIP car rental options are available for arrival and for getting around the city. Special rates are available for business trips of more than a week and for long-term corporate stays, and after a busy working day you can keep up your daily routine in our free gym. On longer trips, our laundry and dry-cleaning service also offers a practical solution. Indeed, thanks to business travel to Hacettepe Teknokent and to families living in the area hosting visitors, Beytepe has become an area that sees steady demand for accommodation all year round, not just in line with the academic calendar. Agreed rates for company staff, invoicing in the company's name and team accommodation are explained in our Ankara corporate hotel guide in more detail.

Shared Advantages for Health and Business Travellers

Although they come to Ankara for different reasons, health tourism and business travel guests largely share the same expectations of a hotel: reliability, flexibility, peace and quiet, and easy access. At Dora Beytepe Otel, we offer both groups of guests a central location at the Beytepe–Çayyolu–Ümitköy–İncek crossroads, flexible options from short stays to monthly stays, free parking and uninterrupted Wi-Fi, quick support by phone and WhatsApp, and quiet, spacious, modern rooms.
