Led one of Wyndham's first hotel conversions in Turkey, repositioning the property from Ramada Plaza Ankara to Wyndham Ankara and driving it to market leadership — delivering 130% growth in ADR, 140% in RevPAR and 160% RGI, while developing the award-winning innovative ballroom concept with interactive walls by fixed Projection Mapping system.

Hillside Beach Club — a resort brand taught as a Harvard case study — Baris ensured its brand promise and fundamentals were delivered to every guest, every day. Designed guest experiences aligned with that promise and built the operational excellence behind it. During this period, the resort kept its position as the market leader in Turkey while achieving extraordinary commercial results.

Created Turkey's first video-mapping concept restaurant at Vesperna, within Ankara's Walking Gastronomy destination — merging digital art with gastronomy into an experience-led dining concept that generated major buzz and market attention.

Built on the motto that says the business hotels shouldn't necessarily be boring, No4 merged the hotel lobby, lounge, restaurant and bar into a single destination — combining entertainment with genuine hospitality and design. The concept grew into a town favourite and an award-winning gastronomy brand within Wyndham Ankara.
