The Hilton Izmir was a five-star hotel in İzmir, Turkey. The hotel tower has 33 floors and a structural height of 142 metres (466 ft.).[2]

History

Upon its completion in 1992,[1] the Hilton Izmir became the tallest building in the city, and the third tallest building in Turkey after the 52-floor (176.8 metres (580 ft)) Mertim Tower (1987) in Mersin, and the 29-floor (143 metres (469 ft), including the spire) Sheraton Ankara (1991) in Ankara. Hilton Izmir remained the tallest building in İzmir and the Aegean Region until 2014, when the 47-floor (200 m (656 ft)) Folkart Twin Towers were completed.

The hotel was nominated for the Leading Conference Hotel in Turkey award by the World Travel Awards each year from 2007 to 2012.[3]

The Hilton Izmir closed permanently on October 16, 2020.[4]

The shuttered hotel hosted survivors of the 2020 Aegean Sea earthquake from October 2020 for at least three months.[5][6] The shuttered hotel again hosted survivors of the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquakes from 10 March 2023 on.[7][8] In July 2025, the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality transferred its company shares.
