<![CDATA[Saklıköy Country Hotel & Club]]> About an hour outside of Istanbul, the Saklıköy complex is a rural retreat from the pavement, traffic, and smog of the city. Its wooded grounds are home to two hotels, meeting rooms, vast sports facilities, and dining. Much of Saklıköy is designed to imitate the elegant simplicity of patrician country living; exposed beams, wooden floors, and candle-lit meals immerse guests in sepia nostalgia while offering state-of-the-art amenities. Equestrian stables, spa facilities, and a (nearly) Olympic-sized pool provide modern forms of relaxation, while the Mahzen “Medieval Cellar” Restaurant harkens back to centuries past, serving up an earthenware feast. This 70-acre natural sanctuary accommodates every need, from professional summits to weekend family getaways.
