“Elaa Cave Hotel appeals with its traditional Anatolian architecture and intimate scale; with engaged owners and a rooftop terrace overlooking Ortahisar castle, the hotel feels personal and immersive. The cave rooms are individually styled and ideally suited to those wanting a romantic getaway. Ortahisar itself is quieter than other Cappadocian towns, but the hotel's structured local tours and proximity to hiking trails provide plenty to discover.”
