The Best Small Hotels of Turkey Book, 2004
Sevan & Mjde Nişanyan
This could be the worlds classiest cave. Behind the facade of a splendid old stone mansion lies a labyrinth of hidden courtyards where the eight rooms of the Esbelli House are carved into Cappadocias volcanic rock. The Honeymoon Room, with antique brass bedstead, occupies a real fairy chimney.
The style is attentive, measured, perfectionist. Suha Ersoz, a lawyer and a fastiduous bachelor, likes to treat customers as his personal guests. Only a tiny name plate gives outward sign of his hotel. A rich CD collection (Bach, Couperin, Gorecki, some jazz) stands at guests disposal in the common room, as does a refrigerator in the kitchen well-stocked with liquor. The guestbook gushes with praise from Ankaras diplomatic community - a dozen ambassadors have put down their names (along such names as Erich von Daniken) among devotees of this unique establishment.
