Ankara is a working capital, so where you stay is about convenience as much as character.

Kızılay: for the centre

The commercial heart, with hotels of every class, the metro and the main restaurant streets.

Çankaya and Gaziosmanpaşa: for embassies and calm

The diplomatic quarter, with upmarket hotels, cafés and Atakule.

Ulus and the castle: for history

Older hotels near the museum, the castle and the Roman remains. Cheaper, with a more traditional feel.

Hamamönü: for atmosphere

A handful of boutique hotels in restored Ottoman houses.
