The Property — Sheraton
The Sheraton Bursa is a dependable 3-star business hotel in the city’s commercial district – think polished marble floors, a hushed lobby with a concierge desk, and rooms that are clean but standard. No local character or views; it’s a safe, efficient base if you’re in town for work or just need a reliable bed near the main boulevard. Best for travellers who prioritise consistency and proximity to Bursa’s transport links over charm.
Chronicles of Bursa
Bursa was founded in the 3rd century BC as Prusa, became the first capital of the Ottoman Empire in 1326, and its early rulers built the Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami), the Green Tomb and the covered bazaars that still define the city centre. The skyline mixes Ottoman domes with modern towers beside the Uludağ mountain, and the silk trade from the Silk Road remains alive in the Koza Han caravanserai. Today Bursa is Turkey’s fourth-largest city, a manufacturing hub for textiles and cars, yet its identity stays rooted in thermal baths, İskender kebab and the Ottoman monuments that draw history-minded visitors.
Best Time to Visit
Full Bursa guide →Best months
May, September: warm enough for exploring the bazaar and Uludağ foothills, light crowds, and clear skies for the cable-car to the mountain.
Peak / festival surge
July (like your stay) and August – domestic tourists pile in for summer heat, and the city’s hotels double their rates; no single festival drives it, rather the general Turkish school holiday. Book well ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April and October: 20–25% cheaper than July, with mild weather, fewer queues at the Green Tomb and the cable car still running. Perfect for budget history tours.
Weather & packing
Bursa’s summers hit 30°C with afternoon humidity; pack linen or cotton and a light jacket for the sudden evening cool from Uludağ. Leave heavy coats behind.
Live City Briefing — Bursa
- The Bursa cable car (teleferik) to Uludağ runs year-round but is closed for maintenance every January; it’s operating fully in July 2026.
- New tram line T3 now connects the city centre to the Grand Mosque and Koza Han, replacing the old minibus route – buy a Bursakart for seamless travel.
- The Uludağ National Park road is open to cars until 8pm during summer, but expect traffic jams on weekends; take the cable car instead.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sheraton, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a high floor (5th or above) on the side facing away from Atatürk Caddesi. These rooms get less street rumble and have a better chance of seeing Uludağ in the distance.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid low floors (1st–3rd) facing the main road. Also skip rooms directly above the lobby bar or near the lift lobby on any floor – lift motor noise carries at night.
Best views
Rooms with a north‑west aspect (right side of the building as you face it) look over the city rooftops toward the mountain. A corner room on floor 6 or 7 gives the widest angle without sacrificing quiet.
Quietest floors
Floors 5–8 are the quietest because they sit above the low‑rise annex roof and are far enough from both street and ground‑floor function rooms.
🔊 Noise notes
Bursa’s main drag, Atatürk Caddesi, carries bus and truck traffic from early morning until late evening. The side entrance on the alley sometimes gets bin collection noise around 6–7 a.m. The lobby bar stays open until midnight on weekends.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room on the ‘Uludağ side’ at check‑in – reception can usually oblige if the hotel isn’t full. 2. Use the side entrance to skip the lift queue during breakfast rush; it puts you straight into the breakfast area.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Bursa
💡 Cheapest silk scarves are from upstairs shops. Grab a tea from the courtyard garden for 10 lira and watch the merchants haggle.
💡 The top-floor section on silk production is the best part. Allow 45 minutes. Free lockers for bags. They have a small cafe with cheap tea.
💡 Bring binoculars on a clear day — you can see across to Mount Uludağ. Best at late afternoon for golden light; the park gets busy with families at weekends.
💡 Go early (just after 9am) to have the interior to yourself. The adjacent Yeşil Cami is also free and less crowded.
💡 Visit just before sunset; the light through the high windows hits the fountain and the atmosphere is quiet. Women need a headscarf (borrowed free at side entrance).
