Hotel Chateau de Ville

Hotel Chateau de Ville is a beachfront boutique hotel for a stay built around easy access to the water, simple comforts and somewhere to sit once the day has taken its share of your energy. You have a private beach area, a garden with sea views, a sun terrace and a seasonal outdoor pool, so the choice after breakfast is pleasantly limited: beach, pool or shade.

The atmosphere suits couples as well as families. Air conditioning, balconies, private bathrooms, WiFi and room service keep the practical side of the stay in order, while the restaurant, bar and snack bar mean you do not have to turn every hungry moment into an expedition. The hotel also has a lift and upper floors accessible by elevator, which is useful when your legs have already done enough work.

You are in Marmaris, Turkey, in the Icmeler area, directly beside a sandy beach. The hotel has direct beach access and a private beach area with sun loungers, parasols and mattresses. Icmeler Beach is practically on the doorstep; Icon Beach is about 0.7 miles away.

For a change of scenery, Marmaris town centre is about 4.3 miles away. Marmaris Castle, Marmaris Museum and Ataturk Statue are all around 4 miles from the hotel, while Aqua Dream Water Park is about 4.3 miles away and Marmaris Yacht Marina about 12.4 miles away. Several bars and restaurants are close by, including three bars within roughly 0.2 to 0.4 miles and restaurants within a few hundred feet.

Rhodes International Airport is about 60 miles away. The hotel has a shuttle service, and car hire is available for exploring beyond the immediate coast.

The sea-view rooms are the natural choice if you want the coast to remain part of the room, not merely something you visit between meals. The Double or Twin Room with Sea View suits a couple, while the Triple Room with Sea View gives three guests separate sleeping places without pushing everyone into the same bed. Family rooms are available too.

For two people who want more room around the bed and a proper bathroom, the King Suite with Sea View is the option to look at. The mountain-view double room is the quieter-looking alternative on paper, with the same basic arrangement for two guests but a different outlook. The room cards below give you the exact dimensions, beds and occupancy for each category, so there is no need to play hotel-room bingo here.

Air conditioning matters when the day has involved sun, salt and a great deal of equipment to put away. Rooms also have balconies, minibars, flat-screen televisions, wardrobes, clothes racks and drying racks for clothing. Private bathrooms include a shower or bath, towels, slippers, toiletries and a hairdryer. Daily housekeeping and room service keep the night straightforward, whether you are heading down for dinner or declaring the bed your final destination.

The family-friendly restaurant works with Turkish dishes and barbecue grill cooking, served in a setting that mixes traditional and modern touches. That is the sort of menu that makes sense when you come back hungry: something familiar from the grill, something local to try, and enough substance to make the next morning's alarm negotiable.

Breakfast is a buffet with warm dishes, fresh pastries and a range of drinks. It includes a full English or Irish breakfast alongside the wider buffet selection, which should cover both the traditional breakfast person and the diver who regards coffee as essential safety equipment.

For the spaces between meals, there is a bar, a snack bar and an on-site coffee house. A minibar is available in the room, and wine or champagne can also be ordered. Room service gives you another way to eat when a balcony and a quiet evening have won the argument.

The beach is the main event here, and you can use the loungers, parasols and mattresses on the hotel's direct sandy access. Two pools add an easier option when you want water without sand: an outdoor swimming pool and a separate children's pool. The sun terrace and garden provide the places in between, where you can read, dry off or simply watch the bay change colour.

For a little movement that does not require a timetable, the hotel has darts and billiards. Bicycle rental is also available if you want to see more of the coast under your own power. It is a modest list, which is no bad thing when the beach is right outside and the day after a dive is not the moment for an organised obstacle course.

Families have access to family rooms and children's meals, while the children's pool gives younger guests their own patch of water. Couples can keep things simpler: swim, take a seat in the garden, walk along the shore, and let the evening arrive without booking anything heroic.

Check-in starts from 14:00 and check-out runs until 12:00. A 24-hour front desk, express check-in and check-out, luggage storage, lockers, currency exchange and concierge service cover the useful moments around arrival and departure. A lift serves the upper floors, and the entire unit is wheelchair accessible.

The hotel offers shuttle service and car hire. Rhodes International Airport is about 60 miles away, so the transfer is a journey rather than a quick hop across town. If you prefer to arrange transport through the hotel, the shuttle service is available to book with the property.

Children of any age are welcome. Cots depend on the accommodation option and availability, while extra beds are not available. There is no age requirement for check-in, pets are not allowed, and cash is accepted. WiFi is free in the public areas, and non-smoking rooms are available.
