Hotels in Rize

For those seeking a dramatic change of scenery, the city of Rize offers a lush, green escape on Turkey’s Black Sea coast. This is the heart of Turkish tea country, where terraced plantations climb the steep, misty slopes of the Pontic Mountains. The main draw is this stunning natural landscape, best experienced with a drive along the winding Çaykur Tea Garden roads or a hike to the Ziraat Botanical Park. Don't miss the Rize Castle for panoramic views over the city and the sea, a reminder of the region's long history.

Rize suits travelers looking for outdoor adventure and a slower pace, from hiking couples to families interested in cultural day trips. The city center around Atatürk Street is the most practical base, with easy access to local restaurants and the seafront. While Rize has a small airport with domestic flights, many visitors arrive via Trabzon, which is about an hour and a half away by car or bus, making a rental car a great option for exploring the surrounding villages and highland plateaus, or *yaylas*, like Ayder.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 46 places to stay in and around Riza. Accommodation is mostly practical, with a focus on good-value city hotels and guesthouses catering to business and leisure travelers, though you can also find a selection of charming pensions closer to the mountain trails.
