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
Everything about this hotel was wonderful, but first and foremost - the staff were simply amazing. Kind, considerate, helpful, with a million touches big and small that made the experience memorable. I felt like an honored guest. When coupled with a great location, comfortable beds (with hard and soft options!), a great terrace, and a tour of the historic touches in the facilities, it really could not have gotten better. A big thanks to the wonderful team and I'm looking forward to connecting again on my next visit.

Located in Tashkent, MIRZO HOTEL offers a terrace and bar. Providing a restaurant, the property also has a fitness centre, as well as an indoor pool and a sauna.
Guest review
Great hotel with nice and helpful staff. Our flight didn`t leave before 6PM on check-out day, and they let us keep one room for free until we had to leave for the airport. It was actually the staff who suggested that we did, so we could stroll around town for a few hours on departure day, and still have access to all facilities. The hotel is conveniently close to the airport, and it was easy to get a taxi to move around town. We will definitely stay here again.

Sarhad Hotel offers accommodation in Bukhara. Featuring a terrace, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.
Guest review
I recently stayed at Sarhad Hotel in Bukhara and had a very positive experience. This is a new hotel, managed directly by the owners, who clearly take pride in providing excellent service to their guests. The staff were attentive throughout our stay (there were 5 of us in two rooms) and always did their best to ensure comfort and convenience.
Breakfast was a highlight, with a generous and tasty selection to start the day. A particularly thoughtful gesture was on the day of our early departure for Khiva: the hotel kindly prepared a takeaway breakfast for the train journey, which we greatly appreciated.
Overall, Sarhad Hotel combines modern comfort with genuine hospitality, making it a very good choice for anyone visiting Bukhara.

DUSTON Boutique XIX century rooms provides accommodation in Bukhara. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.
Guest review
The property itself was very beautiful. The decor in the rooms and common areas was authentic and gave you the feel of being in a historic city. The location is perfect too, not in the hustle bustle but just a mere 5 minutes away by walk.
Though the best part about this hotel was the staff. I’d give them more than 10/10 if I could. All the lads were super helpful. Jacoub, Anvar & Behrouz are the best staff I have ever come across at ANY hotel.

Featuring a shared lounge and terrace, as well as a restaurant, YASMIN is located in Samarkand.
Guest review
The price is extremely reasonable for this kind of hotel. It is a little further away from the bustling areas of Samarqand, yet the streets are very quiet because it is not a populated area.
We went to this hotel with our wife and baby. Personal was really kind, assisted us in planning our trip, and recommended locations to visit.
