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.

DUSTON Boutique XIX century rooms provides accommodation in Bukhara. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.
Guest review
We had an amazing stay at Duston. The location was perfect—everything was within walking distance, which made exploring the area super easy and enjoyable.
The rooms were spacious, cozy, and very comfortable, with a modern and very clean bathroom. Breakfast each morning was fresh and lovingly prepared—clearly made with care.
But what truly made the stay special was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, especially Jack and Anvar, who went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their warmth and attentiveness really made a difference.

Guest review
The hotel itself is very beautiful and well designed. I took an upgraded room with access to the club lounge and was extremely pleased with the facilities and felt it was well worth the money. The room was very comfortable and had great views across the mountains in the distance. Snacks and drinks provided in the lounge were delicious and the breakfast was exceptionally good and varied.
Overall, the thing that made it most special for me was the staff. They were helpful, polite and went out of their way to make sure my stay was of the highest standard. Despite working long shifts on New Year, they smiled all the time and made me feel like a valued guest.
