Bibikhanum Hotel
Bibi-Khanym Mosque area, Samarkand, Uzbekistan
Bibikhanum places the scale of a small courtyard hotel beside one of Samarkand’s grandest landmarks. Its terrace looks towards the mosque, while the courtyard and traditionally styled rooms give the property a more intimate feel than the surrounding monumental architecture. Rooms advertise private bathrooms and air conditioning. The appeal is the setting and the chance to linger close to the old city’s sights. Make time for a quiet breakfast before the streets become busy.
