Emre Hamilci, Project Manager of Kirman Hotels based in Antalya, shares how material selection impacts operational efficiency in hotel renovations, and how their collaboration with Serapool Porselen delivered a transformative result in both design and safety.
In this interview, we delve into how Serapool products enhance aesthetic diversity, offer complementary safety solutions, and contribute to sustainable partnerships in hospitality projects.
When Kirman Hotels decided to renovate Kirman Belazur Hotel in line with evolving customer expectations, the search began for long-lasting, design-driven materials that would ensure both durability and distinction. Project Manager Emre Hamilci explains that the wide product range, technical support, and trusted reputation of Serapool Porselen made the process seamless.
How did your journey with Serapool begin? Which Serapool products were used at Kirman Belazur Hotel?
“After operating Kirman Belazur Hotel for nearly nine seasons, we initiated a comprehensive renovation. Serapool Porselen played a key role in this process. Serapool is a brand that consistently excites and intrigues us. Their porcelain products have significantly empowered both designers and applicators.”
Serapool Porselen’s extensive product portfolio caters not only to technical requirements but also to sophisticated aesthetic expectations. Emre Hamilci emphasizes how the variety provided design flexibility, allowing them to combine the Snow White and Marin products to achieve a striking visual result. These combinations elevate the guest experience through visual richness.
What advantages did you gain from working with Serapool? Which products were featured in your project?
“Collaborating with Serapool gave us much greater creative freedom. Our designers could explore a broader color palette. We combined the Marin and Snow White products and achieved a project outcome that was highly praised by everyone involved.”
Hotel pools are among the most intensively used spaces in hospitality operations. That’s why materials must offer more than visual appeal—they must resolve safety concerns effectively. Emre Hamilci highlights how critical areas such as ramps, corner transitions, and shallow zones often present operational challenges. Serapool’s comprehensive offerings—including inner trim, outer trim, pool copings, and anti-slip solutions—proactively address these issues.
How do Serapool Porselen products stand out in terms of safety, especially in high-traffic pool areas?
“Pools are one of the most crucial components in hotel operations. Serapool has always given us complete confidence in terms of hygiene. They also provided complementary safety solutions that addressed issues such as sharp corners, ramps, and shallow areas.”
Beyond product quality, Serapool’s continued technical support and solution-oriented communication have made them a reliable long-term partner. Kirman Hotels’ ongoing partnership with Serapool since day one reflects this commitment. Emre Hamilci notes that the company’s ability to innovate and incorporate client feedback adds significant value for investors.

“Serapool Porselen consistently brings fresh designs and innovative products to the table, which is why we’ve worked with them from the very beginning. We’re grateful for their commitment to listening to our feedback.”
