The Museum Hotel is located in Antakya (Hatay) Turkey just below and west of Saint Peter's Church. Prior to construction, the area was excavated to examine the archaeological remains on the site. Extensive, beautiful mosaics from the Hellenistic, Late Roman, and Byzantine Periods were discovered along with streets, plazas, a Roman bath, and a villa. To preserve these remains, the hotel was built around and above the various ancient structures. It is a marvel of modern architecture and ingenuity.

It opened in early 2020 but closed for repairs after the devastating earthquake of 5 February 2023. It reopened on October 1, 2024.
