Situated in the Bodrum peninsula in the southern Aegean, Bodrum, the ancient city of Halicarnassos, birthplace of Herodotus, the Father of History, and home of one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, today is Turkey's most fashionable resort, often compared to France's St.Tropez.

The Karia Princess Hotel is the premiere luxury hotel in downtown Bodrum. Quietly located in the heart of the old city, only a stroll away from the busy Bodrum marina, the harbor boulevard, the shopping and entertainment district and the landmark castle of St. Peter, the Karia Princess is an oasis of tranquility in an urban environment abounding in attractions and diversions.

Inspired by classic European luxury hotels, the Karia Princess exhibits an atmosphere of subdued elegance, graceful informality, and personal service. Whether dining in its elegant Sera Restaurant, swimming in the sparkling water of its adjacent pool, relaxing at the pool side bar or exploring the hotel's center piece and place of special pride, its exotic garden, featuring a masterfully designed arrangement of tropical and subtropical plants from all across the globe, the Karia Princess is a unique fusion of traditional luxury, beauty and modern comfort.

Since its opening in 1995, the Karia Princess has been owned by the Imre family. Over the years, family members have furnished the hotel with many original pieces of art, regional carpets, furniture, crafts and antiques to create an unforgettable experience for its discerning guest.
