As a result Of

The thought of designing a landmark can be very exciting for most of us, either if it’s a big Star Rated Hotel or a small Budget Hotel, Motel or Bed and Breakfast. What types of tourism would be better to develop in our country? — winter or summer. We decided it should be summer tourism. Because there are  few summer tourism landmarks  in our country than other  developing countries.

First step :  we chose the place where the  summer tourism could be better to developed. We found out that it was Astara.  Astara district is located in the south-east of the country, on the border with Iran. Astara is one of the most beautiful areas of Azerbaijan. One part of the territory is Talysh Mountains, and another part is plains. Astara city is surrounded by rice paddies. High in the mountains, Astarachay and Tengerud River originate and flow into the Caspian Sea.

French painter Alberto Pepin, who visited here in 1886 together with his fellow countryman traveler Gabriel Bonvalot, captured in his art works Talysh Mountains, beautiful landscape, everyday life, culture, habits, customs, and clothing of locals of this region.

More than 37,000 hectares of the area are covered by the forests which have the relict woods such as oak and Demiragaj (ironwood). Hardwood of Ironwood is used for making looms, shuttles, and parts for the textile industry.

Talysh forests fauna is rich and diverse. Animals such as wolves, lynx, deer, porcupines and other live therein. There are also many beautiful sandy beaches on the Caspian Sea shore of the district. The sea water is clean and clear here.

There are more than 400 monuments of history in the territory of this district, and the majority of them are in the mountain villages. Among them the tower in Shindan village, well known as the Tower of Babak, the tower in the village of Nidus, the Mausoleum of the XII century in the village Shakhagay, the Haji Taimur and Haji Jahan Bagish Mosques, the Meshedi Abutalib bathhouse in Pensar village, and the Karbila'i Hamid Abdullah bathhouse in the Archivan village could be mentioned. In Gapachymahalla village one can find a caravanserai dated by the VII century, a necropolis dated by the III-I centuries, and the ruins of an ancient fortress, mausoleum, the statues relating to the Bronze and Stone Ages.

The city has a museum, which showcases numerous finds from its district including coins, stone tools, etc. A stone statue of a man, which is more than 2000 years old, the deer image on a piece of stone, which is 2000-3500 years old are to be of particular interest. All together there are over 8000 exhibits in the museum.

This  infrastructure made us to create a landmark in this region. We were sure the necessary infrastructure that we would create to serve tourists in this region.

There are several hotels. Besides, on the Baku-Astara highway there is also a large shopping mall "Savalan" next to which one can find a hotel, banquet halls, a coffee bar, and "Sahil" and "Tourist” restaurants.

     

Distance from Baku	315 km
Population	87 400
How to get to	By bus: Shuttle Baku-Astara-Baku, 7 hrs; By train: Baku-Astara-Baku, 9 hrs.

Second step : The aim of  us is to design hotel spaces and atmosphere where people can meet, act and interact, a new way of living the modern Hotel. we chose the place where had to be suitable conditions such as : Especially suitable for families

  All rooms should be with safe box, mini bar, hair dryer, bathtub or shower, telephone in Bathroom, tea / coffee machine, direct dial telephone, tv, internet connection, central heating system, The floor shoud be  carpetted.

Astara which brings architectural specialities to the present as well as natural beauties, green nature, thermal water and opportunities of summer and winter tourism has music culture and historical heritage. The city shelters monumental, religious, cultural buildings.
