The Sheraton Ankara Hotel & Convention Center debuted in 1991 in Kavaklidere, Ankara’s contemporary quarter, where hotels, theaters, high-rises, and shopping malls reside alongside government offices, celebrated palaces, and foreign embassies.

Between 2001 and 2004, the world-renowned architect Frank Solano redesigned the hotel interior, incorporating inviting contemporary décor with traditional touches. Soon after, in October 2005, the state-of-the-art Convention Center inaugurated its Grand Ballroom.

In 2010—the same year the Lugal became a member of the Luxury Collection by Starwood Hotels and Resorts—Mr. Solano turned his focus to renovating our lobby, dining room, and winter garden. Since reopening in 2011, the Lugal has drawn guests and dignitaries from around the world.
