Körfez Hotel İskenderun occupies a seafront position on Sahil Bulvarı, the coastal boulevard running along the Gulf of İskenderun in the city of İskenderun. The Turkish word körfez means gulf or bay, and the hotel's name and location reflect this orientation: sea-view rooms look directly out over the calm inner waters of the Gulf, which on clear days offer views across to the mountains of the Hatay hinterland and the coastline of the Çukurova plain to the north. The waterfront promenade (kordon) is immediately accessible from the hotel, making it a popular choice among travellers who want the combination of urban convenience and a seafront outlook without travelling to a dedicated resort.
The room types include sea-view doubles with balconies facing the Gulf, standard doubles positioned in the interior of the building, and suites with expanded living space. A sea-view restaurant serves fresh seafood, Turkish meze, and grilled dishes — the seafood sourced from the Gulf is among the kitchen's strongest offerings, particularly during cooler months when catches from the inner bay are at their peak. The bar operates alongside the restaurant through the evening. Air conditioning is fitted throughout. The hotel does not have a private beach or outdoor pool, but the kordon promenade and İskenderun's waterfront park are immediately accessible on foot. Parking is available near the property. The seafront location makes Körfez Hotel one of the better-positioned options in İskenderun for travellers arriving without a car, with dolmuş and taxi links to Arsuz and Antakya a short walk from the hotel entrance.
