Experience the ultimate in unique accommodation with our curated selection of Cappadocia's most spectacular cave hotels.
What a Cave Hotel Is
Cave hotels are rooms carved into the soft rock, sometimes in buildings that were homes for generations. The stone keeps the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter, and most places mix the old walls with modern comfort.
Where to Stay
Goreme is central and within walking distance of the main valleys, which suits first-time visitors. Uchisar sits higher up and has wide views, while Urgup is a little quieter with a more local feel. All three have good cave hotels at a range of prices.
What to Look For
A terrace facing the valley is worth it, since that is where you will watch the balloons at sunrise. Check how far the hotel is from the centre, whether the climb to it is steep, and read recent guest notes about heating and hot water. Book early in high season because the best rooms go fast.
