14 floors of the building are intended for hotel rooms, and starting from the 15th floor, residences and apartments are located in the upper part.

It was noted that ideal conditions have been created for organizing corporate meetings and events related to special days in the building.

The "Shusha" hall here is a special place for holding business meetings or gala events.

In addition, 12 additional meeting rooms bearing the names of the liberated territories of Azerbaijan have been created in the hotel.

These are "Karabagh", "Aghdam", "Jabrayil", "Gubadli", "Tartar", "Khojaly", "Fuzuli", "Zangilan", "Kalbajar", "Khankendi", "Khojavand" and "Lachin" rooms.

It was reported that the interior design of the building reflects the diversity and richness of Azerbaijan's climate, culture, and history.

In the architecture of the hotel, special attention was paid to the characteristics of Azerbaijan - the unity of history, art, culture and modern trends.

It should be noted that the development of tourism as a leading sector of the non-oil sector in Azerbaijan is one of the main priorities.

The "Strategic Road Map for the Development of the Specialized Tourism Industry in the Republic of Azerbaijan", approved by the Decree of President Ilham Aliyev dated December 6, 2016, is a clear confirmation of the attention paid to this field by the state.

Thanks to the visionary policy defined by the head of state, the creation of a modern hotel infrastructure in Azerbaijan began many years ago.

Until 2020, when the pandemic spread, a large number of tourists visited our country every year and took advantage of modern tourism opportunities.

As in the world, our country is experiencing a post-pandemic period.

This, in turn, is accompanied by an increase in the flow of tourists.
