I am planing to spend a couple of days visiting Ephasus in Turkey. i was wondering where is the best hotel, the most up-scale in the region.

You could do a Google search for "luxury hotel in Ephesus" (note spelling).

You'd have to look at Kusadasi a short drive away on the coast. Selcuk, the town of Ephesus, specialises in charming small hotels.

Kismet Hotel at Kusadasi is upscale without being pretentious. Good size rooms and good property on its own small peninsula with lovely grounds and view. However, the food is nothing to talk about.

There are two restaurants at the marina or next to it just below Kismet which are decent.

Nazhan in Selcuk is simple boutique hotel, but can be acceptable if you get one of the new larger rooms. Talk to Mr. Cemil Akyurek, the owner, about the facilities. He is a textile businessman from Istanbul and has good English.

Thank you all, great suggestions.

We ate 2 times at the fish restaurant to the left of Kismet. Walked down a dirt road from hotel. Loved hotel & grounds. Had a gread room with a sea view.
