Marriott Hotels announced the opening of Cappadocia Marriott Hotel. Nestled within the moonscape landscapes of Cappadocia, the property is the largest and newest hotel in the region with 298 guest rooms, offering travellers a gateway to the storied destination. Ideally situated near the town of Göreme, guests can easily explore Cappadocia’s top attractions, including the UNESCO-listed Göreme National Park, the Open-Air Museum, and the renowned underground cities. The hotel’s prime location also places guests close to the area’s famous hot air balloon launch sites, providing a breathtaking opportunity to experience the dramatic vistas from above.
“We are thrilled to introduce the first Marriott Hotel in Cappadocia, a sought-after destination, renowned for its unique beauty and cultural significance,” said Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, Vice President, Premium & Select Brands, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International. “This property not only marks our debut in Cappadocia, but also underscores Marriott International’s ongoing commitment to the Turkish market. Guests can expect our hallmark of heartfelt service, elevated experiences, and the timeless hospitality that defines Marriott Hotels. We aim to create unforgettable stays, inviting travellers to immerse themselves in unique history, awe-inspiring scenery and diverse experiences.”
The architecture and design of Cappadocia Marriott Hotel are deeply inspired by the region’s distinctive appearance. Built using locally sourced natural stone, the hotel’s colour palette reflects the earthy tones of its surroundings, with shades of terracotta, soft beige, and muted green evoking a sense of tranquillity and creating a warm atmosphere for guests. Handmade artwork by local artisans, including a unique collection from Venessa Ceramics, further enhances the connection to Cappadocia’s rich cultural heritage and creates a welcoming atmosphere that is both sophisticated and rooted in tradition.
Reflecting Marriott Hotels’ continued evolution, guests are welcomed into sophisticated, comfortable spaces beginning with the Greatroom– a stylish hub where guests can connect and relax. The hotel boasts 298 beautifully appointed guestrooms, each blending modern comforts with contemporary design. Amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and air conditioning, ensuring a seamless and comfortable stay for every guest.
