“Atakule” in Ankara
Atakule is an icon of Ankara’s skyline, the center of the capital city’s chic international identity, and the place of so much collective memory. Now Atakule is back to take its place as the timeless symbol of one of the world’s most important capital cities.
Atakule’s exceptional architecture and design concept reestablish its reputation as Ankara’s symbol. Large glass expanses give an immediate connection to the vibrant, international neighborhood, while intimate design touches create the perfect space for people to meet and connect. The glass atrium shines in the daylight and glows at nightfall, while lofty open interior spaces are reflected in the façade’s curves. Lounge areas enjoy stunning views of Ankara’s Botanical Garden; while terraces let Atakule’s habitués enjoy exceptional vistas of Ankara’s skyline.
Top brands will draw Ankara’s affluent shoppers, and exceptional lifestyle attractions like creative workshops, world-class concerts, arts events and galas, a children’s center will make Atakule not only the capital’s best in boutique shopping, but also the top destination for all of life’s many celebrations.
