Argos in Cappadocia, Cappadocia

Occupying a former cave monastery and a collection of old stone houses interconnected by subterranean tunnels, Argos in Cappadocia boasts fantastic views over the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia’s Pigeon Valley where hot air balloons drift across the valley each morning as the sun rises. Located high above the ancient town of Uchisar and built into the hillside the hotel is surrounded by luxuriant gardens and sun-soaked terraces offering splendid panoramas.

Spread across meticulously restored dwellings, each of the 51 stylish and individually designed rooms and suites are unique; from atmospheric, rock-hewn cave rooms to exposed-stone suites with indoor plunge pool, all blend traditional Turkish handicrafts with contemporary and thoughtfully chosen furnishings to great effect.

The dining is sublime, and guests can opt to dine on the outdoor terrace to make the most of the wonderful vistas at the Seki Restaurant, where delectable Anatolian cuisine prepared with the freshest of ingredients and with a contemporary influence will please the palate. The wine cellar holds an impressive collection including vintages from the hotel’s own vineyard; wine tastings are a feature and guests can visit the cellar and pick their own bottle to complement dinner if they so wish. The cosy bar lounge is the perfect setting for a nightcap and the inviting outdoor pool offers a relaxed spot for a cooling dip and incredible views.
