About
Opened in 1928, the Ankara Palace, located opposite the Second Assembly in Ulus, is a symbolic building of the Republic period. The building where the founder of the Republic, Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, stayed after his speeches, turned into a meeting place for parliament members, journalists, and artists in the 1930s. Initially, the building designed as the club of deputies, was completed by Architect Kemalettin Bey’s project and started operating as a 120- bed Hotel in 1927. Ankara Palace, which had hosted foreign delegations and significant meetings for years, was later restored and became the State Guesthouse in 1982. The building, which was transferred to the National Palaces Administration in 2018, has welcomed its visitors as a museum since 2024.
