The 10 best hotels with a view in Cappadocia

The world-renowned Radisson Blu Hotel group welcomes you to the city centre of Kayseri, the capital of Cappadocia. Ideally located just 600 metres from Kayseri Castle in the city's hyper-centre, this upmarket hotel allows guests to explore the city on foot.

To relax at the end of the day, don your swimming costume and visit the hotel's spa, equipped with an indoor pool, gym and wellness area. The bar-restaurant, with its rooftop terrace, offers a breathtaking view of the city centre and Mount Erciyes. A real cocoon of relaxation in the heart of a bustling city.

Located in the village of Guzelyurt, a 30-minute drive from the troglodyte city of Derinkuyu, theAkinci Konagi Hotel immerses guests in Turkish history and traditions. The 200-year-old building was once one of the most luxurious Greek stone mansions in the city. Now renovated, it is still decorated with handmade carpets and antiques, creating a unique atmosphere that is accessible to those on a budget.

From the bedrooms to the communal areas, most of the building has been carved out of the volcanic rock. This troglodyte hotel, typical of the region, is nonetheless warm and welcoming. Our favourite feature? The huge terrace overlooking the village and offering a breathtaking view of Mount Hasan: the ideal place to enjoy a hot tea at sunset.

Located in the village of Ortahisar, the Elika Cave Suites & Spa hotel is one of the most popular hotels on Instagram. And with good reason: with its ultra-photogenic design and impressive glass-bottomed swimming pool, this establishment has everything it takes to rank among the most beautiful hotels in Cappadocia.

At this hotel, most of the rooms have been dug out of caves and renovated in a traditional Turkish style. Some of them also have a private terrace or patio, where you can admire the view of the village and the valleys of Cappadocia. But this exceptional panorama is accessible to all guests from the building's main terrace. Make yourself comfortable and let yourself be lulled by the ballet of the hot-air balloons... A breathtaking spectacle not to be missed!

Are you looking for low-cost, yet pleasant accommodation? Then head for the Narcissos Cave Hotel, in the village of Ürgüp. Far from the hustle and bustle of the big tourist towns, this family-run establishment is run by a warm and welcoming couple. Don't hesitate to ask them for advice on how to improve your trip: they'll be delighted to help you discover their region.

At this hotel, the troglodyte rooms are summarily furnished: a bed, a few pieces of furniture and little (if any) decoration. This sobriety is hardly disturbing, since the whole point of this establishment lies in its communal areas. The sunny terrace, overlooking the village of Ürgüp, will amaze you from breakfast onwards.

For this new establishment, we're heading for the village of Ortahisar, between Ürgüp and Uçhisar. In this small town renowned for its white houses on the rock face, several hotels offer top-of-the-range services at competitive prices. Among them, theAcer Cave Hotel boasts one of the most beautiful panoramic terraces in the area. For breakfast (continental menu served à la carte), take the time to admire the plunging view over the Kale d'Ortahisar, an impressive rocky peak pierced by troglodyte dwellings.

Contrary to its name, the Acer Cave Hotel does not have cave rooms. The hotel's double rooms and suites are bright and airy, with large picture windows overlooking the garden or private terraces. The most beautiful suites are also equipped with spa baths or a private swimming pool; a little extra that will delight honeymooners.

Let's stay a little longer in Ortahisar, with this second hotel that is just as popular with travellers. With a rating of over 9.6 on Booking, there's no doubt that theHezen Cave Hotel has it all! As soon as you arrive, it's hard not to fall under the spell of this troglodyte building, offering a direct view of the Kale of Ortahisar and the surrounding valleys.

In the bedrooms, the charm of natural stone blends with contemporary, carefully-crafted decor. The little extra? To accommodate families, the hotel also has family rooms (4 people) of over 95 m²: an ideal base for visiting Cappadocia, and in particular Göreme National Park, less than 5 minutes' drive away.

Located in the famous town ofUçhisar, the Hu of Cappadocia hotel attracts tourists with its tasteful decor and views of the region's most beautiful valleys. Unlike many Cappadocian hotels, there are no troglodyte rooms here. Each unit is spacious and light-filled, despite the building's imposing stone walls. Some suites also have spa baths, for the ultimate in relaxation.

The view from the terrace of the hotel restaurant, which serves breakfast as well as delicious Turkish dishes at mealtimes, is nothing short of magical. At any time of day, you can admire the fairy chimneys, the Pigeon Valley and, in the distance, Mount Erciyes and its snow-capped peak.

Among the many exceptional hotels in Uçhisar is the Uchisar Kaya Otel, with its spa area and two swimming pools (one indoor, the other outdoor). Located a little way from the town centre, this large hotel complex is a veritable bubble of serenity at the gateway to the Pigeon Valley. The views from the rooms and garden are spectacular, and are sure to make you want to explore Cappadocia.

This troglodyte hotel, the oldest in Cappadocia, also offers a view of the fairy chimneys and the Kale of Uçhisar (or 'Uçhisar Castle'), the town's true landmark. The location and panorama are so marvellous that it's easy to forgive the basic decoration of the rooms.

Located in the centre of Göreme, in the national park of the same name, the Elite Cave Suites hotel (also known as Sarihan Cave) is ideal for a first stay in Cappadocia. Thanks to its location in the heart of Cappadocia, and with the help of the hotel staff, you can easily visit the region on all-inclusive excursions.

An oasis in Cappadocia: that's probably the best way to describe the Roc Of Cappadocia hotel. Located in Göreme, a little way from the town centre, this exceptional establishment is surrounded by several fairy chimneys. As if protected by these magical creatures, the Roc Of Cappadocia seems cut off from the world and presents itself as a veritable cocoon of nature in this semi-arid region.

In terms of rooms, Roc Of Cappadocia boasts traditional rock-cut rooms and brighter suites with vaulted stone ceilings and private terraces. But despite the beauty of the rooms, the hotel's strongest point is outside. Near the indoor swimming pool, surrounded by lush vegetation, the hotel's large terrace offers a panoramic view of the most beautiful valleys in Cappadocia: enough to spend unforgettable evenings, comfortably seated around a campfire.
