About the hotel
Located within the Silk Road Samarkand tourism complex, Silk Road by Minyoun enjoys a privileged waterfront setting overlooking the Rowing Canal, just a short drive from Samarkand’s UNESCO-listed historic centre. The hotel forms part of one of Central Asia’s largest integrated tourism developments, combining luxury hotels, wellness facilities, cultural attractions, and congress venues in a single destination.
Managed by Minyoun Hospitality, the five-star hotel draws inspiration from the legendary Silk Road while embracing contemporary Chinese elegance. Modern architecture, sophisticated interiors, and panoramic public spaces create an atmosphere that reflects both Samarkand’s historic importance and its growing international profile.
The hotel features 241 rooms, including 50 suites, many overlooking the canal or surrounding landscape. Guests can enjoy Mirage Spa & Wellness, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, gourmet dining, panoramic rooftop lounges, modern conference facilities, and direct access to the wider Silk Road Samarkand resort, including the Eternal City cultural park.
What distinguishes Silk Road by Minyoun is the diversity of experiences available beyond the hotel itself. From exploring recreated Silk Road streets and traditional Uzbek craftsmanship to spa rituals, canal cruises, and exceptional dining, the property offers an immersive gateway into both Uzbekistan’s heritage and its modern tourism vision.
Today, Silk Road by Minyoun is best suited to couples, luxury travellers, business guests, wellness seekers, and cultural explorers looking to experience Samarkand from one of the city’s most prestigious new addresses.

Creator experience
“What I loved most was how the hotel reflected the spirit of Samarkand itself, elegant, welcoming, and full of character. After exploring the city’s incredible history, it felt wonderful to return to such a peaceful atmosphere each evening. The thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and sense of place made the stay feel like an extension of the destination rather than just somewhere to spend the night.”
