For more than 50 years, the Dedeman brand has been synonymous with not only hospitality but also meticulousness, cleanliness and quality. Aware of this responsibility, we have swiftly taken all required actions since the first days of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have always prioritized the health of our guests and employees alike, and taken steps under the guidance of our government and relevant institutions.
The circumstances we are currently going through require us to do more and redefine our already high standards in accordance with the “New Normal”.
In this context, all of our operating hotels in Turkey have a "Safety Hotel" certificate.
To that end, we launch our Stay Safe manifesto at all our hotels and guarantee, under all circumstances, a healthy and safe accommodation experience for everyone. With Stay Safe, our most recent hygiene standards protocol, we will continue to be the address which all our guests will frequent and feel at home with an absolute sense of trust, as usual.
