Where to Stay During COP31 Antalya 2026

COP31 will take place in Antalya from 9 to 20 November 2026. Government representatives, international organisations, NGOs, academics, journalists, businesses and climate experts from around the world will travel to the city for the conference and its related events.

Choosing where to stay during COP31 Antalya is an important part of planning your visit. Antalya is a large tourism region, and hotels are distributed across Lara, Kundu, Belek, the city centre, Konyaaltı and areas close to Antalya Airport.

The best accommodation area depends on your conference programme, transportation arrangements, arrival time, budget and whether you need to attend meetings at several locations.

Participants staying at properties connected to official conference transportation may not require a vehicle for every journey. However, a rental car can be useful for visitors staying outside the principal transport network, attending private meetings, carrying professional equipment or travelling before and after the conference.

This guide compares the main accommodation areas and explains what COP31 participants should consider before booking a hotel.

Check Official COP31 Accommodation Information First

Before confirming your hotel, review the latest accommodation and transportation information published by the conference organisers.

Official arrangements, approved hotel lists, shuttle routes, security procedures and conference access points may be updated as the event approaches. A hotel that is convenient for one participant may not be appropriate for another person following a different programme.

Before making a non-refundable reservation, check:

• Whether the hotel is included in an official accommodation programme
• Whether conference transportation serves the property
• The location of the activities you plan to attend
• Estimated journey times during busy periods
• Hotel cancellation and modification conditions
• Parking availability if you will rent a car
• Whether your organisation has its own transportation plan

Turtas Rent a Car is an independent car rental company. We do not manage official COP31 accommodation or conference transportation.

Staying in Lara or Kundu During COP31

Lara and Kundu contain many of Antalya's large resort and conference-style hotels. The area is also relatively convenient for travellers arriving through Antalya Airport.

Hotels in Lara and Kundu range from large beachfront resorts to smaller business and city-style properties. Many provide restaurants, meeting facilities and services that may be useful for international delegations.

Advantages of staying in Lara or Kundu

• Relatively convenient access from Antalya Airport
• A wide selection of large hotels
• Suitable facilities for delegations and business groups
• Many restaurants and shopping options
• Convenient road connections toward Belek and Antalya city centre
• Potential availability of hotels with private parking

Points to consider

• Traffic may become busy during a major international event.
• Some large resorts are located away from the city centre.
• Public transportation may not suit every conference schedule.
• Walking between hotels and meeting locations may not be practical.

Participants staying in Lara can find more local transportation information on our Lara Car Rental page.

Staying in Belek During COP31

Belek is known for large resort hotels, golf courses and extensive conference facilities. It may be suitable for organisations that want their participants to stay together at one property.

Many Belek hotels operate as self-contained resorts with restaurants, meeting rooms, business facilities and private outdoor areas. This can make the region practical for delegations organising internal meetings in addition to official COP31 activities.

Advantages of staying in Belek

• Large hotels suitable for groups and delegations
• Conference and meeting facilities at many properties
• Suitable for organisations keeping their team at one hotel
• Direct road connection toward Antalya Airport
• Resort facilities for participants extending their stay
• Parking available at many large properties

Points to consider

• Belek is outside Antalya city centre.
• Private meetings in central Antalya may require additional travel time.
• Restaurants and services outside the hotel may require transportation.
• Taxi costs can increase when several daily journeys are required.

For additional information about transportation and driving in this area, visit our Belek Rent a Car page.

Staying in Antalya City Centre

Antalya city centre can be a practical choice for participants who want access to restaurants, offices, shopping centres and urban services.

The city centre includes several different districts, so travellers should check the exact hotel location rather than relying only on the description “central Antalya.”

Hotels near major roads may provide easier access to other parts of the city. Properties in dense or historical areas may be attractive for sightseeing but can have limited parking.

Advantages of staying in Antalya city centre

• A wide selection of restaurants and cafés
• Access to shopping centres and business services
• Suitable for private meetings in central Antalya
• Different hotel categories and price levels
• Easy access to cultural and historical attractions
• More opportunities to explore the city outside conference hours

Points to consider

• Journey times to conference activities may vary.
• Traffic can be busy during morning and evening hours.
• Some hotels may not have private parking.
• Parking can be limited around Kaleiçi and other central districts.
• The airport journey may take longer during heavy traffic.

If you plan to stay centrally and drive to several locations, review the parking facilities before booking your accommodation.

Staying in Konyaaltı

Konyaaltı is located on the western side of central Antalya and is known for its coastline, hotels, restaurants and views of the Taurus Mountains.

The area can be attractive for participants who prefer an urban coastal location. It also provides convenient access to western Antalya and roads leading toward Kemer.

Advantages of staying in Konyaaltı

• Coastal hotels and city accommodation
• Restaurants, cafés and everyday services
• Access to central Antalya
• A comfortable area for extending your stay
• Convenient access toward western Antalya

Points to consider

• Konyaaltı is farther from Antalya Airport than Lara.
• Cross-city journeys can take longer during busy periods.
• The area may not be connected to every official transportation route.
• Participants should check the exact distance from their scheduled activities.

Staying Near Antalya Airport

An airport-area hotel may be useful for participants arriving late at night, departing early in the morning or staying in Antalya for only a short period.

This option can reduce travel time on arrival and departure days. However, the airport district may offer fewer leisure and dining options than Lara, Belek or central Antalya.

Advantages of staying near Antalya Airport

• Convenient for early departures
• Suitable for late-night arrivals
• Shorter transfer on the first and final day
• Practical for operational teams with frequent airport journeys

Points to consider

• Limited choice compared with Antalya's main hotel districts
• Transportation may be required for restaurants and meetings.
• The area may not be suitable for participants extending their holiday.
• Daily travel may be necessary if conference activities are elsewhere.

Our office is approximately two kilometres from Antalya Airport. Read our Car Rental Antalya Airport guide for information about vehicle collection and return.

Hotel or Apartment Accommodation?

Hotels are generally more convenient for short business visits and participants who need reception services, breakfast, meeting facilities and regular housekeeping.

Apartments and serviced residences may be suitable for longer stays, larger teams or visitors who prefer cooking and additional living space.

A hotel may be more suitable if you need:

• Reception and guest services
• Breakfast and restaurant facilities
• Meeting rooms
• Daily housekeeping
• Luggage storage
• Business facilities

An apartment may be more suitable if you need:

• A longer accommodation period
• More living space
• Kitchen facilities
• Accommodation for several colleagues
• Greater independence

Before booking an apartment, check the cancellation conditions, parking availability, check-in procedure and distance from your COP31 activities.

Should You Rent a Car During COP31?

Not every participant will need a rental car. If your hotel is connected to official conference transport and all your activities follow the main programme, scheduled transportation may be sufficient.

A rental vehicle may be useful if you:

• Stay outside the principal conference hotel network
• Attend private meetings at different locations
• Travel outside scheduled conference hours
• Carry media or presentation equipment
• Arrive before the main programme begins
• Remain in Antalya after COP31
• Coordinate transportation for several colleagues
• Need regular access to Antalya Airport

Vehicle Options for Different Accommodation Areas

Compact automatic cars

A compact automatic car can be suitable for one or two participants staying in Lara or central Antalya. It is easier to drive and park in busy urban areas.

View our Automatic Car Rental Antalya options.

Hybrid vehicles

A hybrid vehicle can provide automatic driving and efficient performance during frequent journeys between hotels, meeting locations and Antalya Airport.

Read our Hybrid Car Rental for COP31 Antalya guide.

SUVs

An SUV may be useful for travellers requiring additional passenger and luggage space or planning longer journeys around Antalya.

Visit our SUV Rental Antalya page.

Seven-seater and nine-passenger vehicles

Larger vehicles can be practical for delegations staying together. Passenger capacity and luggage space should be considered separately before booking.

Explore our 7 Seater Car Rental Antalya and 9 Passenger Van Rental Antalya options.

Accommodation Planning for Organisations

Organisations bringing several participants should compare accommodation and transportation together rather than treating them as separate arrangements.

A coordinated plan should include:

• Number of participants
• Arrival and departure flights
• Hotel locations
• Daily meeting schedule
• Official transportation availability
• Number of drivers
• Vehicle categories
• Luggage and equipment requirements
• Parking facilities at each hotel

Keeping team members at one hotel can simplify daily transportation. If several properties are required, organisations should consider the distance between them and the effect on morning collection times.

Companies and delegations requiring several vehicles can review our COP31 Corporate and Long-Term Car Rental page.

Questions to Ask Before Booking a COP31 Hotel

• Is the hotel connected to official COP31 transportation?
• Where are the meetings and activities I will attend?
• How long will daily journeys take?
• Does the hotel have private parking?
• Is parking included in the room price?
• Can the reservation be changed or cancelled?
• Does the hotel provide meeting facilities?
• Are restaurants and everyday services nearby?
• Is the hotel suitable for a late-night arrival?

Book Accommodation and Transportation Early

COP31 will create significant demand for hotel rooms and transportation during November 2026. Properties suitable for large delegations and international organisations may become unavailable earlier than expected.

Book only after reviewing the hotel location, cancellation conditions and latest official conference information. If you require a rental vehicle, reserve it at the same time so that accommodation and transportation arrangements work together.

Early planning is particularly important for:

• Organisations requiring several hotel rooms
• Delegations requiring multiple vehicles
• Hybrid or automatic vehicle requests
• Seven-seater and nine-passenger vehicles
• Participants arriving before the conference
• Visitors remaining after 20 November
