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.

HOTEL SILK ROAD EMPIRE SAMARKAND features free bikes, garden, a shared lounge and bar in Samarkand. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a children's playground.
Guest review
Hotel Silk Road Empire in Samarkand is truly one-of-a-kind, standing out on a global scale. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when visiting this enchanting city. The entire property is tastefully designed in a “Silk Road” theme, with hallways featuring gallery-like displays of artifacts worthy of a museum.
The rooms are exceptionally spacious, spotlessly clean, and uniquely decorated with various themes. We stayed in the “Alexander the Great” room, which was both luxurious and fascinating.
Breakfasts were delicious and offered a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is its outstanding staff. They took care of every detail, from assisting with transfers to providing city tips, all with warm smiles and genuine kindness.
A highlight of our stay was the celebration of our daughter’s 6th birthday. The staff surprised her with a cake, candles, a heartfelt rendition of “Happy Birthday,” and a small gift. It was a touching and unforgettable moment for our family.
This hotel deserves nothing less than a perfect 10/10. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Samarkand!

Meros Hotel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Bukhara.
Guest review
The hotel has an excellent location — close to everything you need. It’s newly built, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well maintained. What really makes it special, though, is the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hotel is small, with only seven rooms, which gives it a cozy, family-like feel — and perhaps that’s why the staff are so exceptionally kind. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. One of the ladies even gave us a gift — fresh melon — and often brought little treats during our stay. Their hospitality is truly remarkable, far beyond what you’d normally expect. And again, the cleanliness is outstanding — everything is spotless. You can really feel the care and heart they put into this place.

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.

Kohinur Plaza has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Samarkand. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk.
Guest review
The friendly staff was the highlight of our stay. Freddy and his colleagues went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The hotel is very new and spotless. We did not have a chance to try the pool or spa facilities, but we did enjoy the complimentary bikes for exploring the sites. The hotel is located on a very busy road, but within a short walk or bicycle ride, you can reach the quieter main walking path that connects all of the major sites of Samarkand.
