In a coastal city where history whispers through stone and sea breeze, ANTIQUE ROMAN PALACE HOTEL offers guests more than luxurious accommodation—it delivers an immersive cultural dining experience, firmly rooted in the culinary traditions of Alanya and Turkey. Certified by the Culinary Heritage network, the hotel is an elegant blend of authenticity, sustainability, and heritage, curated for the conscious traveler.
Flavours of the Region, Sourced with Purpose
At the heart of the hotel’s success is its strong commitment to local sourcing and seasonality. Nearly all ingredients are procured from regional producers, with some produce even grown on-site or provided by staff family farms. This deeply personal supply chain ensures not only freshness and flavor, but also community engagement and food traceability.
The kitchen adapts biweekly to what’s in season, allowing the menu to remain both dynamic and environmentally conscious, while consistently showcasing the best of what the region offers.
Tradition on Every Plate
Guests at ANTIQUE ROMAN PALACE HOTEL are treated to a rich selection of traditional Turkish and Alanyan dishes, served with care and contextual storytelling. From home-style stews to intricately prepared mezze, the food reflects time-honored techniques and generational wisdom.
What elevates the experience is not just the flavor, but the presentation: dishes are plated using traditional materials, and the ambiance—anchored in Roman-inspired architecture, Turkish decor, and panoramic views—transports guests into a living cultural setting.
Sustainability Woven into Daily Practice
The hotel’s approach to sustainability is particularly commendable. With an impressively low 5% food waste rate—a rarity for buffet-style operations—ANTIQUE ROMAN PALACE stands as a model for resource-conscious hospitality. Key practices include:
Smart portion control strategies
Full utilization of ingredients (e.g., homemade stocks from kitchen scraps)
Efficient serving logistics to reduce overproduction and guest waste
Such dedication demonstrates that luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist in perfect harmony.
A Hotel that Serves Its Community
Beyond the kitchen, the hotel plays an active role in the cultural life of Alanya. From sponsoring archaeological heritage efforts in Syedra, to hosting literary, artistic, and classical music events, ANTIQUE ROMAN PALACE is a true civic institution—elevating not just meals, but minds.
Its service team, trained to reflect this cultural ethos, enhances the dining experience with detailed knowledge of dishes, origins, and local customs.
Elegance with a Sense of Place
From its Roman-inspired columns to its Alanyan recipes, ANTIQUE ROMAN PALACE HOTEL offers a setting where history, culture, and sustainability meet at the table. It’s more than a resort—it’s a gateway into regional identity, making every meal a chapter in the unfolding story of Alanya’s culinary heritage.
