Where Quiet Luxury Meets Stone:
Rising with its timeless elegance among the ancient stones of Cappadocia, Akantha House Cappadocia came to life with the faithful restoration of a historic mansion in Ürgüp. Carrying traces of the past on every wall and contemporary interpretations in every corner, this structure offers its guests not only an accommodation but also a living experience touched by elegance.
Inspired by Mythology...
Akantha, from which the hotel takes its name, is a nymph whom Apollo, the sun god, fell in love with in Ancient Greek mythology. It is said that Akantha, who rejected the warmth of the sun and chose to stay in her own roots, turned into an acanthus plant. This story symbolizes freedom, elegance and harmony with nature. Here, Akantha House Cappadocia combines its originality and aesthetic power with its history, inspired by these mythological roots.
Design Infused with History
All rooms of the mansion are equipped with original stonework, high ceilings, stained glass windows and traditional details; each designed with an understanding that focuses on privacy, comfort and aesthetics. Akantha House Cappadocia, the expression of quiet luxury in Cappadocia, offers a low-key but profound elegance.

Every detail offered here; from food to drinks, from rooms to gardens, every element is handled with distinguished elegance. Designed with the philosophy of quiet luxury, Akantha House Cappadocia brings together historical heritage and modern comfort and offers its guests an unforgettable, special and peaceful accommodation.
