Argos In Cappadocia

Traditional Elegance & Quiet
Though not yet so common that they need a name for their particular sub-genre — speleoboutiques, anyone? — it’s safe to say that cave hotels are officially a thing. Especially in Cappadocia, which as a region has what’s probably the world’s most plentiful supply of habitable caves. And if you want to see how it’s done, you need look no further than this repurposed monastery in the village of Uçhisar, now a boutique hotel called Argos in Cappadocia.

If it feels a bit like the set of some swords-and-sorcerers epic, that’s more or less the point. It should go without saying that this is a place you go to escape from the modern world. Inside it’s all arches and vaults and massive rough-hewn stone blocks, and outside it’s a picturesque tumble of weathered stone houses, cascading down the hillside.

The rooms themselves pack in as much contemporary comfort as a cave can reasonably handle; today’s luxury guests need not fear a total return to the Stone Age. Some have terraces, others private in-cave pools, and they manage to make subterranean living feel like the most natural thing in the world. Which it sort of is, come to think of it. And not to be missed are Argos’s surprising public spaces — the owners discovered a large tunnel network during the refurbishment, and from it they’ve fashioned a restaurant, some meeting rooms, a wine cellar and even a concert hall.

The property and grounds of this hotel is exceptional, with sweeping views of the surrounding valleys in a quiet, more relaxed part of the region than the over-touristed alternatives. The way the property was designed spanning restored caves across the hillside made the property like a small village, with multiple restaurants and spaces to explore, and everything you need so you don't want to leave. We had a deluxe stone room which was perfectly appointed and spacious. We especially loved the fireplace. The restaurant Nahita featuring all local produce, produce from their gardens, and authentic Anatolian cuisine, was one of my favorite meals in Turkey, and the included breakfasts were lavish and satiating. The newly completed spa was also delightful, offering free access to an indoor cave pool, relaxation areas, sauna, steam room, and gym. We had everything we needed and more for an unforgettable and truly luxurious 3 day stay. We were sad to leave!
