While destinations such as Istanbul, Ankara or Bodrum often steal the spotlight, the central region of Cappadocia, adorned with fairy chimneys, is a sight to be seen.
With valleys sculpted by millions of years of volcanic activity and cave dwellings, Cappadocia is also a gateway to Türkiye’s rich history, with attractions such as the Kayseri Archaeology Museum, where 14 exhibition halls trace civilisations from the Chalcolithic Age to the Late Ottoman period.
Now, Cappadocia has a new luxury address with the opening of Fortuna of Cappadocia, Autograph Collection by Marriott Bonvoy.
Nestled in the hillside village of Uçhisar, the newly opened property overlooks the region's extraordinary landscapes.
On offer are 125 guest rooms and suites. The property also features 28 private villas, with all stays designed to blend seamlessly with the surroundings.
A nod to Cappadocia’s Roman heritage, the hotel takes its name Fortuna from the mythological goddess of luck and good fortune.
“The property is set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most storied landscapes and designed for guests to truly connect to the unique destination,” said Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, Vice President of Premium, Select & Midscale Brands within Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Marriott International.
“From panoramic views across fairy chimneys and valleys to thoughtfully crafted spaces that celebrate local artistry, every detail invites guests into an immersive experience.”
After a day of exploring Uçhisar and the surrounding valleys, guests can return to the hotel’s collection of dining and social concepts.
Fortuna Table offers all-day dining inspired by the flavours of Cappadocia, while the Fortuna Terrace welcomes guests from the afternoon through to the evening, with Mediterranean offerings against a rooftop view.
Other venues include Le Dome, the Lobby Lounge, Le Privé and Grand Cabaret, where the latter plates vibrant dinners, served with a side of live performances on stage by renowned artists on select nights.
When it's time to trade exploration and dining for wellness, Fortuna’s Spa & Wellness Centre offers a retreat with an indoor swimming pool, traditional Turkish hammam and treatment rooms which offer personalised therapies and holistic wellness experiences.
