Bellapais Suites Cappadocia  

Perched in Cavusin village in Cappadocia, this cave hotel sits minutes from Cavusin Castle, the Church of St. John the Baptist and the fairy chimneys of Pasabag. It’s a hot-air-balloon hotspot — the balloon launch point is about 100 meters away, so sunrise views from the terrace are instantable.

Housed in a restored stone house, rooms blend authentic cave architecture with modern touches. Expect stone walls, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars or coffee/tea makers, heated towel rails and private bathrooms with hairdryers. Select rooms feature in-room jacuzzis or larger spa tubs, and the terrace offers panoramic valley views.

Wake to a sky full of balloons on the terrace, soak in a shared hot tub, or unwind in the bar and garden. The property also offers a library, barbecue area, shared lounge and tour/ticket assistance for balloon rides, ATV and jeep safaris, horse riding and daily local tours. Free self-parking is available onsite.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The hotel features a 24-hour front desk, express check-in and multilingual staff, plus roundtrip airport shuttle service available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant and bar serve breakfasts and regional flavors, and 24-hour room service is offered. Special evenings such as a Traditional Turkish Night and terrace meals after balloon watching add local flavor to your stay.
