Having gained independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a young country. But the roots of this vast land are ancient.
For centuries, this area of land was a major crossroads along the Silk Road – an age-old trading route that stretched all the way from China to the Mediterranean. Samarkand, one of three major cities dotted along the road, contains so many architectural feats from this period that it has been classed entirely as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See for yourself at the Registan, a wide plaza bordered by three mosaic-covered madrassas (religious schools) with bright turquoise domes. To the west, Bukhara offers similarly impressive landmarks, including the ruins of a 5th-century royal compound known as the Ark, while the walled city of Khiva further north is the most remote but best-preserved of the Silk Road cities. Here you’ll find stunning mosques, mausoleums and palaces towering over a labyrinth of streets. But there’s more to Uzbekistan than ancient history. Tashkent, the urban capital in the eastern region, is refreshingly cosmopolitan, while in the far north you can visit the Aral Sea – formerly one of the world’s largest lakes now on the verge of disappearing completely.
Hotels and guesthouses are aplenty in the capital, as well as in the Silk Road cities. Accommodation is quite limited elsewhere.

Everything was perfect! Great breakfast, lovely rooms, wonderful central location. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive to all details of our stay - the complementary fruit, wine and even the transfer to the airport on our day of departure. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel and will certainly book here for all future trips to Samarkand!!

Meros Hotel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Bukhara.
Guest review
One of the best boutique hotels I've ever stayed in. This is a family-owned hotel with fantastic room décor (done by the owner and her daughters), great location just steps from the main streets of Bukhara, and the friendliest staff. They have the cutest little yard where you can have breakfast outside. There's also a 24/7 reception desk, which is a great perk that I didn't always encounter in other boutique hotels I stayed in. They'll schedule you a taxi ride, offer you coffee, or just engage in a soulful confersation with you about life in general, it feels like you're part of the family.

Featuring a bar, Khiva Siyovush Hotel is situated in Khiva. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
The hotel is a beautiful and well decorated Uzbek style house. The room is big and beds are indeed comfortable. The heating worked properly and shower was great. We had a varied and tasteful à la carte breakfast every day. The hotel owner picked us up at the train station and he has also helped with buying tickets and with currency exchange. Location could not be better: a couple minutes walking from the old town heart. In summary, the hotel offers a 5-star service to make it an unforgettable stay in Khiva. I strongly recommend Khiva Siyovush as a hotel.

The hotel is one jam in all respects: excellent location, Central but calm, safe, convenient and in proximity to everything one might need. The hotel itself is sparkling clean, designed with great taste and maintained with great care and attention to guests. The staff is helpful and attentive. Breakfasts in the garden are a great beginning of a day. Many thanks to the Home’s team for the great time!
