The Owl Cave Hotel  

Perched atop Goreme and carved into a fairy chimney hill, this cave hotel delivers panoramic terrace views and easy access to the town center and the Goreme Open-Air Museum. About 25 minutes from Nevsehir Airport (38 km), it’s a pet-friendly base for exploring the area.

Opened in early 2016, the Owl Cave Hotel blends stone-and-cave design with modern touches. Rooms feature Nespresso and filter coffee machines, TVs, showers and slippers, and many offer terrace views of the fairy chimneys. Enjoy a relaxed 12 pm checkout to soak in the morning light from the terrace.

Terrace with sweeping views, a bar and on-site restaurant, a massage room and a small library set a laid-back tone. Book excursions at the tour desk, use free parking, or arrange airport transfers. Ski and snowboard fans have access to a nearby skiing area — and yes, pets are welcome.

Free Wi-Fi throughout the property; parking and airport transfer services are available for guests.

Start the day with a breakfast spread of homemade jams, pancakes and a variety of cakes. The restaurant and bar serve local flavors so you can sample regional cuisine without leaving the terrace views behind.
