The Yunak Evleri hotel (in the Cappadocia region) is a series of seven ancient cave houses recessed into limestone cliffs\u2014dating back to the fifth and sixth centuries. Vacant as recently as 2000, the caves were imaginatively converted into an unconventional, 40-room hotel adjacent to a restored 19th century Greek mansion, which comprises the most recent part of the luxury establishment.<\/p>\n<p>A regional attraction since the early Middle Ages, the ancient caves dot the hillside like pock marks, doubling as rustic suites on a reimagined rocky fa\u00e7ade. Hotel rooms and public spaces are naturally beautified with multi-level plateaus, nooks, archways, stone fireplaces, and unique windows and doors\u2014all carved into the spectacular landscape. Accommodations range from exotic luxury caves to multi-chamber deluxe suites (including family suites) for up to 80 guests.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3518240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3518240\" style=\"width: 1884px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-2.28.25-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3518240\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-2.28.25-PM.png\" alt=\"Rooms are accessed through a labyrinth of narrow passageways and curved stone stairways on multi-level plateaus.\" width=\"1884\" height=\"868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-2.28.25-PM.png 1884w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-2.28.25-PM-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-2.28.25-PM-1024x472.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1884px) 100vw, 1884px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3518240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rooms are accessed through a labyrinth of narrow passageways and curved stone stairways on multi-level plateaus.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3518238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3518238\" style=\"width: 1596px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-1.39.39-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3518238\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-1.39.39-PM.png\" alt=\"Hotel rooms and public spaces are beautified with natural nooks, archways and stone fireplaces.\" width=\"1596\" height=\"1188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-1.39.39-PM.png 1596w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-1.39.39-PM-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-13-at-1.39.39-PM-1024x762.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1596px) 100vw, 1596px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3518238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hotel rooms and public spaces are beautified with natural nooks, archways, and stone fireplaces.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3518236\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3518236\" style=\"width: 1492px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-14-at-2.37.26-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3518236\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-14-at-2.37.26-AM.png\" alt=\"Beautiful courtyard\" width=\"1492\" height=\"1118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-14-at-2.37.26-AM.png 1492w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-14-at-2.37.26-AM-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Screen-Shot-2015-08-14-at-2.37.26-AM-1024x767.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1492px) 100vw, 1492px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3518236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A beautiful courtyard.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rooms are accessed through a labyrinth of narrow passageways and curved stone stairways that lead to remarkable rooms decorated in the local traditional style.
