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
An amazing hotel. The management were extremely attentive to our needs throughout, including little touches such as organising free transport to the station and, in the evening, a free glass of wine. The museum decor is unique and nice to see. The hotel is in walking distance of most sights as well as some nice bars (try Blues Bar). Highly recommended if 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.

Guest review
My partner and I only stayed at this hotel for 1 night. The room was comfortable and very clean, the bed was also very comfortable and we had a good night sleep. The hotel and the rooms has very new furniture and modern design which adds to the experience. We managed to check in a bit earlier as the room was available, paid cash and had a good rest. The breakfast was also good, with a wide choice of savory and sweet options. I also ordered food in my room for dinner and it was served very fast and it was delicious.
