Museum
Hotel, located in the hilltop town of
Uchisar in Cappadocia, is a unique luxury
hotel with exquisitely decorated rooms all
different and furnished with rich satins,
antiques and very old rugs. Eighty percent
of the rooms have views as do the terrace
and swimming pool area. The hotel itself is
an officially registered museum and
therefore the name of Museum Hotel was
given. You can see examples of art and coins
starting from 2000 B.C. through the Ottoman
Period. There is also an art gallery with
works by a local artist.
A complex of ten houses and many caves was
purchased in the village of Uchisar by the
owner Omer Tosun, over ten years ago. It
underwent a long and careful reconstruction
after receiving permission from the Ministry
of Culture. Museum Hotel features 5 cave and
traditional arched rooms, 9 deluxe cave
rooms, 8 deluxe cave suites, 2 superior
suites, 1 Sultan Suite and the special
Eflatun Pavilion all with high quality
modern facilities and extras such as iron
and ironing board, kettle with a supply of
coffee and tea, a mini bar with cold drinks,
built-in or free standing wardrobe, internet
connection, hair dryer, T.V. with
international channels, VCD and direct dial
telephone in the room and bathroom. Deluxe
and suite rooms are normally equipped with a
Jacuzzi and shower. Some of the private
bathrooms are voluminous. Central heating is
available if needed but no room has
air-conditioning due to the characteristics
of the porous volcanic rock into which the
rooms are hewn and constructed. You will
experience a constant and comfortable
temperature in summer and off season.
Museum hotel is located only 3 km from
Nevsehir, a little further from Goreme Open
Air Museum and 15 km from Urgup. There is a
business center with a computer, printer,
scanner, ADSL and wi-fi connection and a
conference room for up to 50 people. The
hotel serves superb meals as their chef is
an award winner who can serve you haute
cuisine from the central Anatolian region by
choosing fresh produce from the local
markets. Taste special Cappadocian wine by
serving yourself from a spigot in the wall!
24 hour room service is available. For small
incentive tour packages, individuals or
groups of friends who would like to stay in
this hotel, we can offer special programs
including tours, hot air ballooning, valley
walks, lunches or gala dinners in villages
or ancient rock churches or with
entertainment such as musicians in costume,
whirling dervishes and more. For golfer’s
who would like something new, there is also
the opportunity to organize a game of
“cross-golf” which is a great new sport in
Cappadocia.
You feel like an eagle with a view over the
region of Cappadocia including Goreme
Valley, Red Valley, Ortahisar and Avanos.
The swimming pool offers a breathtaking view
of the valleys like you are hovering above.
The romance of rooms where candles burn in
the dovecote niches or you have your very
own fountain in the room, special lighting
and careful attention to aesthetic detail
add to a very distinctive experience. |
