Museum Hotel

Each of the 34 rooms and suites is carved from ancient stone or restored cave dwellings, uniquely styled with antiques and handcrafted details. Features may include heated marble floors, rainfall showers, or private pools. Many rooms open to terraces with panoramic views of Cappadocia’s valleys and skies.

At Lil’a, enjoy traditional Anatolian dishes and regional Cappadocian flavors, thoughtfully prepared with ingredients from the hotel’s organic gardens. For local wine tastings, visit Cavo, a historic cave space restored into a cozy cellar featuring bottles from top Anatolian producers.

Swim in the heated Roman-style pool as hot air balloons drift overhead, or book an open-air massage with rose or wine-infused oils at the hotel’s wellness terrace. In-room baths, a terrace therapy space, and a traditional Turkish barber add to the indulgence. The concierge can also arrange guided sunrise hikes through nearby valleys.

Take a sunrise hot air balloon ride, visit the ancient rock churches at Göreme Open-Air Museum, or tour the tunnels of Derinkuyu Underground City. Join the hotel’s chef to explore Cappadocian cuisine through traditional recipes, then walk to the hotel’s ecological gardens to sample produce grown among the fairy chimneys.
