Divan Çukurhan Hotel is housed in a traditional Anatolian Caravanserai built in 1522, which ranks among the oldest of Ankara’s early Ottoman buildings. The entrances to the building and part of its exterior walls, perhaps drawing on structures already standing in the Ankara citadel, are built of finished stone, while the rest of the building is half-timbered with sun-dried bricks. The roof is of local terracotta tile and shelters a two-storey arcade built around the central courtyard of the Han. Caravanserais like the Çukurhan were part of a remarkable network of trading and lodging houses for caravans along the Silk Road, a network that at its peak stretched from the Steppes of Central Asia to the shores of the Mediterranean and the Bosphorus. Each located a day’s travel apart, caravanserais provided welcome shelter for man and beast alike and themselves were vibrant hubs of trade. The Divan Çukurhan is an intrinsic part of the historic fabric of this most ancient part of Ankara, a city that was known as Ankuwash to the Hittites in the 13th century B.C., as Ankyra in the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras and as Angora following its conquest by the Seljuk Turks. Located opposite the Ankara Citadel, the foundations of which were laid in the 3rd century B.C. by the Galatian Celts, the Çukurhan is near the site of the Horse Market and adjoins the west wall of the Çengelhan Rahmi M. Koç Museum, itself located in another historic trading Han. The Çukurhan remained a bustling commercial centre through the first half of the 20th century, housing shops selling a variety of agricultural and manufactured goods including grain, dried fruit and produce the mohair and Angora wool for which the Ankara region is famed, rope and a variety of other commodities. However, as the century progressed the Çukurhan gradually fell into disrepair and then burned in 1950, suffering extensive damage that destroyed the majority of the original structure. In 2007, the Koç Group leased the structure from the Turkish Prime Ministry General Directorate of Foundations, Ankara Regional Directorate and in the same year began an extensive restoration of the Çukurhan, which lasted through the summer of 2010. Throughout the three-year restoration process the greatest care was paid to the preservation of the original building. In keeping with the latest international renovation practices, original materials and techniques were used whenever possible and efforts to ensure that the historic structure would survive for future generations extended to covering the entire courtyard area with a glass roof to protect the fragile sun-baked bricks of the original structure. Location Divan Çukurhan is located in the heart of historic Ankara, within a few minutes walk of the Ankara Citadel and the world-famous Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. Those seeking an environment of authentic luxury while travelling on business will be pleased to learn that the Divan Çukurhan is located in the Ulus district of Ankara, home to both key government ministries and most embassies. Divan Çukurhan is a truly unique hotel combining history, distinctive décor, superior service and a location ideal for both business and sightseeing.
