The consulate said in a statement it had “obtained specific and credible threats of potential terrorist activity” against U.S. hotels in Adana, a major city in southern Turkey.

“U.S. citizens in Adana are advised to exercise caution when patronizing these establishments,” said the statement.

Some of the U.S.-branded hotels in the city include the Sheraton Grand Adana and the Adana HiltonSA. Adana is also home to the Sabancı Central Mosque, the largest mosque in Turkey.
