The sprawling hillside property made up of six stone buildings (and the caves beneath them) has stunning views of Pigeon Valley from its many terraces and courtyards, where guests can enjoy wine from the hotel's immense cellar. Some of the rooms also have terrific views, while others lack natural light, but they all combine a unique cave-like design with Turkish decor and modern amenities. Wi-Fi and an excellent breakfast are included, and the property features an music hall (once a monastery) with wonderful acoustics. The Anatolian Houses has less spectacular cave rooms, but travelers interested in a Goreme location and a spa may prefer that venue.

Set on several acres of manicured gardens that stretch all the way to a sandy beach, the upscale IC Hotels Residence is an all-inclusive property with a quiet atmosphere. Its 43 rooms range from two-bedroom suites with shared pools to four-bedroom villas with private pools and hammams. While not quite decadent, they’re all comfortable, big, and well-equipped, and most have exotic Balinese decor. Though a restaurant serving Turkish and international cuisine, a spa, and serene outdoor pool are the only on-site amenities, guests get free access to all the amenities at neighboring sister property IC Hotels Green Palace, including its many restaurants, several pools, and entertainment. Travelers seeking something more luxe and stylish may want to compare rates at the Maxx Royal Kemer Resort, though it is about an hour from the airport.

The Istanbul Edition is a sleek, 73-room luxury hotel located in the Levent, one of Istanbul's major business districts on the European side of the city. With two restaurants, a bar, a nightclub, and a 20,000-square-foot spa that includes an indoor pool, and a fitness center, there are plenty of opportunities for guests to dine, drink, party, entertain, relax, and exercise. Designed by Ian Schrager, guest rooms are lined in oak and rosewood, and decorated with leather chairs and cushy sofas. Sizes range from a 320-square-foot Superior Room to a 2,800-square-foot penthouse that fills an entire floor. All rooms include Bang and Olufsen flat-screen TVs, fireplaces, iPod docks, minibars, and coffeemakers. Bathrooms are lined with polished marble. While the hotel's location is convenient for business travelers, tourists might prefer the Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul, which is slightly pricier but closer to historic sights.
