Description

A unique cave hotel created from the restored ruins of an ancient village, carved deep into a cliff face, Museum Hotel is truly unique and overlooks a breathtaking landscape of rose-coloured ravines, dramatic rock formations and the distant Mount Erciyes.

The stunning Museum Hotel, in Turkey’s Cappadocia, is as captivating as it is unique. Constructed on former ruins, and semi underground as with many buildings in this region, its 30 guestrooms and suites are have a starkly appealing stone décor enlivened by bright pops of colour from local textiles, rugs and objets d'art. The Museum Hotel is home to a staggering collection of Turkish works of art and antiques, making it an utterly fascinating place to stay with curiosities around every corner. A highlight is the 180° terrace overlooking the valley and offering incomparable views over a landscape unique in the world. One of the best, and most popular ways, to drink in the surroundings is to take a hot air balloon trip. Other indulgent experiences are on offer such as private cocktails with a violinist, outside in the valley, with a private chef and waiter, while the infinity pool is ideal for cooling down in the heat of the day.  A romantic hideaway ideal for couples, friends and families who appreciate culture and natural scenery.

Accommodation

Each atmospheric and historic guestroom and suite is completely different with many showcasing highly original features and priceless antiques, from textiles to spinning wheels. One room has a heated massage table while another offers local wine on tap, and one even has an antique tandoor oven – all objects hint at the room’s former use.   Rooms are exquisitely and richly furnished with local materials and some have extraordinary views.

Facilities

Lil’a is the à la carte restaurant of Museum Hotel offering Anatolian cuisine and Cappadocia food culture paired with the assurances of Relais & Châteaux service.  There is also an excellent on-site spa.

Activities

Cooking lessons can be arranged, as can private breakfasts after hot air balloon rides, and massages in a hidden valley.  The hotel has an ecological garden within walking distance, and in the shadows of the fairy chimneys. Guests are welcome to explore it and to taste what grows there.
