The one-of-a-kind property will be comprised of 36 stylishly created guest rooms incorporated into ancient cave structures, combining heritage with contemporary convenience. Guests will enjoy the full range of high-end amenities, including rooftop terraces with stunning vistas, lavish spa, multiple indoor and outdoor pools, and cozy dining venues. Perfectly located just beneath the historic Ortahisar Castle, the hotel is close to the action and just an hour’s drive from Kayseri Erkilet Airport, a main entry point to the area.

A July 2026 opening is planned for the 92-room Hotel Konak Izmir, the newest addition to the cosmopolitan seafront in the Aegean city.
