While the hotel itself isn't a landmark, its prime location on Mammademin Rasulzade prospekti places guests within easy reach of Sheki's most significant attractions. Sheki, a city with a history stretching back 2,500 years, was a vital stop along the ancient Silk Road. Its strategic location at the foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains contributed to its prosperity as a trading hub, attracting merchants and artisans from across the East and West. Today, Sheki retains its unique charm, boasting a wealth of architectural treasures, traditional crafts, and a vibrant local culture. A short distance from the hotel stands the magnificent Sheki Khan's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of 18th-century Azerbaijani architecture. The palace is renowned for its intricate frescoes and stunning stained-glass windows (shebeke) crafted without using a single nail. Exploring the palace offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Sheki Khans and the region's rich artistic traditions. Also nearby is the Sheki Fortress, a historic complex that once served as the citadel of the Sheki Khanate. Within the fortress walls, visitors can discover interesting sites, including the Shebeke Workshop, where skilled artisans continue the tradition of creating intricate stained-glass windows. Sheki's historical significance as a Silk Road trading center is further evidenced by its well-preserved Caravanserais. These ancient inns provided lodging and trading space for merchants traveling along the Silk Road. The Upper and Lower Caravanserais, both dating back to the 18th century, stand as testaments to Sheki's commercial past. The Upper Caravanserai has been converted into a hotel, offering visitors a unique opportunity to stay in a historic Silk Road lodging.
