Does anyone know where this unique cave hotel is located?

It’s the Yunak (Turkey)

It looks like the one in Turkey - The Gamirasu Cave Hotel.

I’m not sure if it’s the Gamirasu, but it’s in Goreme, Turkey in the Cappadochia region. I stayed down there in a similar cave hotel in October. There are many to choose from in all price ranges and luxury levels.

High humidity!

Wherever it is, the bedroom photo is making me claustrophobic.

There is a similar looking one down in Jamaica somewhere.

Katy: Looking at the height of the bed and the wall closer to the viewer, I doubt if the room is as small as it appears. The back part of the bed room where the lamp is located may be a different story.

Even then if you notice the chair, and the height of the part you actually sit on, I would assume the sitting part would be lower than the waist so if you raise the chair to the height of an average sized person’s waist line, it looks pretty spacious.

Turkey = One of my favorite vacation spots!

Hi Maureen

Istanbul is one of my favorite cities. I spent my first million there– on a cab ride– 3 million Turkish lira (old lira)– about 2 dollars US.

Speaking of unique use of caves…we just at at Alux in Playa del Carmen a few months ago. Great restaurant in a live cave as well. Very cool if you don’t want to travel to Turkey for this experience.
