The fashionable Mardan Palace Hotel in Antalya, Turkey, owned by businessman Telman Ismailov, has had its electricity cut off due to debts for electricity exceeding 2 million dollars, which if they are not paid, will result in the hotel being seized, says the newspaper Haber Turk.
The Mardan Palace is considered to be the most luxurious hotel in Turkey, costing 1.4 billion dollars. 35 million dollars were spent on the opening ceremony alone in 2009, attended by Hollywood stars, the newspaper reminds its readership.
