The hotel sits at Kirazliyayla on Mount Uludağ, in the Kirazliyayla Forest, at an address in Osmangazi, Bursa. The complex covers 142,452 square metres among pines, split across four buildings. The architecture is the draw as much as the setting: modernist blocks from the 1940s, with the original stone walls kept in the atrium lobby, which is lit by daylight and has living plants and trees inside.
Pürovel Spa & Sport is the centre of the stay. Facilities include saunas, steam rooms and hammams, plus yoga and meditation sessions. There are three pools and a gym, and the hotel arranges outdoor activities on the mountain. Medical specialists are available for consultations if you want a personalised wellness plan drawn up during your stay.
Food is built around fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with seasonal Turkish-inspired and international dishes served in the restaurants, a private dining venue and via in-room dining. The juice and detox bar pours non-alcoholic Vitality drinks. No alcohol is served anywhere in the hotel.
There is a conference centre with a grand ballroom, an auditorium and meeting rooms, plus outdoor spaces, which the hotel markets for health seminars and wellness retreats. That means the property can host a group programme, but the listing here is for the hotel stay itself, not a scheduled retreat with fixed dates.
What separates this from a generic mountain spa hotel is the building and its history. A restored 1940s sanatorium, designed by two named national architects, with the original stonework in the lobby, is a different proposition from a new-build resort. The trade-off is that you are arranging your own days: there is no published daily schedule of classes or excursions in the source material.
