Having gained its expertise in the tourist and hospitality sector as a family-run business active since 1990, Avantgarde Collection continues on its journey of growth with the vision of its executive committee members Lütfi Öztanık, İsmet Öztanık, and Cenk Öztanık.
Avantgarde Collection has a special place in Türkiye’s tourist sector, with hotels located in the heart of Istanbul, in three of its vitally dynamic commercial and social hubs—Levent, Şişli, and Taksim. It also boasts a hotel in Yalıkavak, located along Bodrum’s Küdür Bay, often referred to as the pearl of the Aegean. And now Avantgarde Cappadocia, the group’s new investment, will be opening its doors to guests in 2024 and welcoming them to Cappadocia’s Ürgüp district, set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Lucis Global, an umbrella brand established to widen the scope of Avantgarde Collection and also cover real estate projects, has been active since 2012.
Avantgarde Catering, a Lucis Global brand, presents its guests with meticulously-curated menus and a delightful dining experience.
