Situated on a majestic hill-side plateau in the charming ancient village of Uchisar, within Cappadocia, Argos is the impressive result of decades of diligent restoration of an ancient former monastery, replete with ancient cave dwellings, underground tunnels and historical houses. The award-winning boutique hotel combines millennia spanning architecture with intricate contemporary features. From the refreshing infinity pool, marvel at the lunar-like landscape of Pigeon Valley, snow-capped Mount Erciyes and the incredible fairy chimney rock formations.

The soothing atmosphere of the hotel’s cave rooms, each uniquely decorated, are enhanced by exposed stone walls, traditional Turkish rugs, and modern amenities. Upgraded rooms feature fireplaces, private terraces and ethereal private in-cave pools or jacuzzies, blended into the natural environment, transporting you into a fantasy world. So rich in history is this hotel, that they offer a free tour of the hotel’s ancient underground tunnel complex, featuring a repurposed wine cellar, dome-topped concert hall, and warmly inviting restaurant, accompanied by stories of the complex’s fascinating heritage.

Breakfast on the terrace may well be a highlight of your stay – there is nothing quite like waking up to unforgettable views of hot air balloons dotting the colourful Cappadocian sunrise sky. Argos’ commitment to organic food practices is displayed through its on-site farm, harvested for fresh restaurant ingredients, as well as its 21-hectare vineyards, a beautiful area to walk through and home to Argos’ award-winning wine.

Argos boasts two fine dining restaurants featuring an exquisite range of authentic and curated dishes as well as two comfortably furnished lounges complete with outdoor terraces.

Switch off and unwind at Argos, with its atmospheric cave therapy rooms providing a serene setting for spa treatments, as well as its transformative sunrise yoga classes in the company of magnificent valley views. Embrace Turkish gastronomy, through Argos’ mouth-watering culinary workshop, providing opportunity to master local Anatolian cuisine recipes, under expert guidance. For exploring the region, day trips can be easily arranged by the hotel – why not opt for horseback riding through picturesque gardens, or perhaps join an adventurous valley walk or bike tour, to observe the remarkable topography of Cappadocia from an eye-level perspective?
