Argos in Cappadocia
Overlooking Cappadocia’s mystical landscape, Argos in Cappadocia is a one-of-a-kind retreat where nature, history and luxury collide. Following a 14-year restoration period that started in 1996, this former monastery built into central Turkey’s lunar-like terrain was meticulously restored and transformed into a boutique hideaway that welcomed its first guests in 2010.
Boasting breathtaking views of Cappadocia’s surreal valleys and ancient rock formations, the hotel has been designed to blend into the rugged surroundings, featuring cave-like architecture, lush terraces and stone pathways that invite you to explore one of the world’s oldest settlements.
Each unique room exudes historic charm and luxurious modern touches. Some feature cozy fireplaces, while others offer private pools and terraces overlooking the magical Cappadocian landscape.
Dining at Argos is a treat, with an emphasis on fresh, local flavors served in atmospheric settings that feel as special as the food. The hotel also has several cozy lounges, a wine cellar and a pool with views that stretch for miles.
- Argos is home to 71 unique rooms and suites, reflecting the Cappadocia hotel’s historic foundations. Built into ancient volcanic stone, the enchanting accommodations blend Old World charm, chic furnishings and upscale touches like fireplaces and in-room pools or hot tubs.
- Head up to the outdoor pool to soak up some of Cappadocia’s best views, from Mount Erciyes to the east to the scenic Güvercinlik Valley (also known as Pigeon Valley) due south, where rock-cut churches, iconic fairy chimneys and other striking formations abound.
- Thanks to its prime location in the foothills, this boutique address places you close to the launch site of Cappadocia’s famous hot air balloons. Start your day with a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the region’s famous rock formations on a sunrise hot air balloon ride, or enjoy the mesmerizing parade of technicolor balloons float across the landscape from your balcony.
Nestled within tunnels and caves carved into the ancient rock that date back to the Hittite era, Argos Cellar offers wine lovers a unique journey through time, allowing each sip to resonate with the deep heritage of Cappadocia.
Argos' cooking classes honor Cappadocia's culinary past. Led by the esteemed chefs of Seki Restaurant, the cooking courses not only refresh ancestral recipes but also introduce guests to the rich history of the area.
For a celebration of Anatolian cuisine, reserve a table at Nahita Cappadocia, where the culinary team uses ingredients sourced within roughly 20 miles of the hotel. For more eclectic cuisine (featuring the same hyper-local produce), head to Seki Restaurant, where slow-cooked meats, fresh pastas and wines from Argos’ vineyard steal the show.
Experience the mystical spirt of Cappadocia through a holistic massage or body peeling in one of the Argos Spa’s cavernous treatment rooms.
- The cave-like accommodations, built directly into the rocky hillside, are easily among the region’s most atmospheric. Natural materials abound in soothing neutral shades, allowing Pigeon Valley’s spectacular landscape to take center stage through large picture windows.
- Roaring fireplaces and low lighting keep these cavernous spaces feeling cozy, while some suites offer in-room hot tubs for an extra luxurious touch. Check into a Jacuzzi Suite to also enjoy a private hot tub.
- Locally sourced Turkish handicrafts add a pop of color to the earth-toned rooms, while ornate rugs in brilliant pink, red and black hues liven up the serene spaces without distracting from the gorgeous architecture.
- For the ultimate Cappadocia hideaway, check into one of the Splendid Suites. The two-story suite comes with an indoor pool, an oversized fireplace, a plush bed and elegant stone arches that recall the luxury hotel’s monastic roots.
