Who owns “Museum Hotel” project?

-
IS YOUR HOTEL A DISABLED-FRIENDLY AND/OR ACCESSIBLE HOTEL?
The special area where Museum Hotel is located consists of tens of caves and stone houses thousands of years old. It is a historical building that focuses on preserving the entire natural structure rather than a modern building with a floor system and elevator structure. Therefore, stairs, natural obstacles, low ceilings, etc. are very possible on the way to or within a room. Therefore, our hotel is, alas, not suitable for wheelchair users or disabled guests.
