The 30 atmospheric, exposed stone rooms that make up the Museum Hotel in Cappadocia have been restored and renovated from ruins, caves and houses where Hittites, Persians and early Christian Romans once lived. But the history of this fascinating region in central Turkey is much older still. Carved into the lava dwellings like those that lie between the hotel’s Anatolian restaurant and alluring mosaic-floored outdoor pool are otherworldly.
Days here are filled with an invigorating mixture of exploration and total relaxation. And there’s a certain magic to slipping away to suites with commanding terraces or subterranean privacy, local wines on tap and stunning standalone bathtubs with ancient views.
