While it may sound odd to say that there’s a luxurious cave you can stay in, that happens to be the truth. Argos is one of a handful of “cave hotels” in Cappadocia, Turkey, that combine luxury accommodations and spa sensibilities with the truly unforgettable landscape of this amazing place.
When Martha Stewart visited Cappadocia, she stayed at Argos and called it a “Spectacular and charming hotel.” Argos is located on the site of an ancient monastery in Old Uchisar Village, where people lived in caves that were carved into the rocks. The advantage of cave dwellings was that they generally provide year-round temperatures that don’t vary too much, regardless of the cold or heat of the sometimes punishing environment outside.
Argos worked hard and thoughtfully to restore the interconnected homes in the village, which now provide tranquil and aesthetically charming accommodations, terraces, and gardens.
Gastronomy gets serious attention here too with incredible wining and dining at the SEKi restaurant, lounge, and wine cellar.
You can tour the grounds and see the underground tunnels and wine cellars, view the vegetables and fruits growing in the incredible volcanic soil or drying in the Turkish sun, or just relax on your own private terrace.
There are 53 rooms, suites, and splendid suites (these include private cave pools) offering their own unique style.
Winner of just about any award you can imagine, the Argos is a unique hotel in Cappadocia, one of the most unique destinations anywhere.
We also recommend spending an early morning sipping Turkish tea and watching the hot air balloons at sunrise from the lobby terrace. You will make memories here that you will not soon forget.

Wow, very informative and lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing
GREAT!!!
Hi Megan! Yes it is amazing. We’re with you on the Icehotel – would love to try that too. Thanks for stopping by.
This looks amazing! I’m all for splurging on luxury hotels which are unique like this. So now my hotel bucket list is the icehotel in Sweden and the Cave hotel in Turkey :D! Thanks!
Whaaat? Cave rooms with their own pools? That sounds pretty unique! Although the name Argos makes me laugh because it is a chain store here in the Uk, haha. Wouldn’t stop me staying there though. 🙂
I’m thinking of going to Cappadocia soon. I think I already know where I want to stay….
Whoa! This is just so stunning!
Wow. The view from this luxury hotel is spectacular. With some Turkish tea I don’t know if I would ever want to leave
I just wonder if this could fit in my budget!
This looks like it would be so much fun. Beautiful details and the dining space looks as superb as the food must be.
Have always had Cappadocia on my list and that includes a stay in a cave hotel as well apart from the hot air balloon ride. Will keep this hotel in mind if I ever get to Turkey again. 🙂
I’m a little obsessed with caves, so I do love the idea of staying in one. This is definitely more luxurious than any of the caves I’ve been in. 😉
The Cave Hotels of Cappadocia sure are a wonder by themselves, glad you enjoyed them!
It looks amazing. I’d definitely like to eat in that SEKi restaurant.
Awesome! I love exploring caves, and this takes it to a whole new level.
If it is good enough for Martha, than I am in ;). Looks like a lovely place!
Adding this to my list of hotels to stay at next time I’m in Turkey!
