Best Hotels in Hatay 2026

The bases that make a Hatay trip work, from hostel beds to flagship suites.

By Updated

This guide covers 19+ hotels and places to stay in Hatay — Savon Hotel Antakya, Ramada by Wyndham Hatay and Arsuz Beach Hotel top the list. Every recommendation carries its practical details: typical costs, the best time to visit, and what to know before you commit.

Hatay is Turkey's southernmost province, a slender finger of land bordering Syria and the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital, Antakya—the ancient Antioch on the Orontes—was one of the great cities of the Roman and early Christian world. Hatay's layered history, distinctive Arab-influenced cuisine, and multicultural society (Turkish, Arabic, Alevi, Armenian, and Greek Orthodox communities have coexisted here for centuries) make it unlike anywhere else in Turkey. Note: a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on 6 February 2023 severely damaged Antakya; many historic structures collapsed and rebuilding is ongoing. Travellers will find a city in resilient reconstruction rather than a fully restored old town.
