BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 11. President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev reviewed the newly restored
buildings of the “Yasaman” Hotel in Shusha on July 11.
This was announced by the Press Service of the President of
Azerbaijan.
The restoration was carried out by the Heydar Aliyev
Foundation.
Assistant to the President Anar Alakbarov briefed the head of
state on the restoration efforts.
The “Yasaman” Hotel was inaugurated in 2023 with the
participation of President Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban
Aliyeva.
The exterior and interior of the hotel, restored in a style
corresponding to its original appearance, were designed in keeping
with Shusha’s medieval architectural traditions. The building,
constructed in the mid-19th century in the style of the Garabagh
architectural school, was destroyed during the occupation. The
Heydar Aliyev Foundation prepared the design documentation for the
project, and following the completion of restoration works in 2023,
two hotel buildings began welcoming guests. The Foundation has now
completed restoration and construction works on four additional
buildings of the “Yasaman” Hotel.
The restoration project was based on a new concept that took
into account the architectural features of traditional Shusha
houses. The new boutique-style buildings also feature glazed
verandas and terrace areas.
Based on archival photographs, the doors and windows were
recreated in accordance with the original architectural style.
Landscaping and beautification works have also been carried out in
the courtyard.
