“It is, of course, gratifying that Museum Hotel, which I founded, is also included in this selection with two MICHELIN Keys; however, what truly makes me proud is Cappadocia's success.
This list didn't surprise me, because this region, with its unique architecture, hospitality, and cultural depth, is already in perfect harmony with MICHELIN’s philosophy of ‘hotels with character, focused on experience.’ I believe that in the coming years, Cappadocia will stand out even more among the most distinguished destinations for luxury tourism,” he added.
