A Year of Success, A Future of Possibilities
CEO of Absheron Hotel Group
Q: 2024 was an incredibly successful year for your company. How would you summarize the key achievements?
A: 2024 truly exceeded all our expectations. We set ambitious goals, and thanks to the dedication and hard work of our entire team, we not only met but surpassed them. From record-breaking occupancy rates to outstanding guest satisfaction scores, every department played a crucial role in our success. It was a year of growth, innovation, and teamwork, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we accomplished together.
Q: Looking ahead, what excites you the most about 2025?
A: There’s so much to look forward to! One of the biggest milestones will be the opening of three new hotels, which is a testament to our continued expansion and strong market presence. But beyond the physical openings, what excites me most is the opportunity to build on our culture and create unforgettable experiences for both our guests and our teams. There’s an incredible energy surrounding these launches, and I can’t wait to see everything come to life.
Q: Your company places great importance on motivation and team spirit. How do you maintain that energy?
A: Motivation and inspiration are at the core of our success, which is why our Townhall events are so important. They provide a space for reflection, connection, and recognition. Every Townhall reminds us of our shared vision and the strength of our team. When people feel valued and inspired, they perform at their best—and that’s what drives us forward.
Q: You introduced the theme “Be More” this year. What does it mean to you and the company?
A: “Be More” is more than just a slogan—it’s a mindset. It’s about continuously pushing ourselves beyond expectations, improving in every aspect of our work, and striving for excellence. Whether it’s in guest service, leadership, or personal development, we want to encourage everyone to take that extra step. It’s a powerful message, and I hope it resonates with each member of our team.
Q: Finally, what message would you like to share with your team as you head into the new year?
A: 2024 was an incredible year, but I truly believe the best is yet to come. We’ve proven that with passion, hard work, and teamwork, there are no limits to what we can achieve. And in 2025 we are carrying that momentum forward, embrace new challenges, and continue to create something extraordinary together.
Together, I’m confident that we will continue to achieve even bigger things. 2024 was amazing, but the best is yet to come!

Sheraton Baku Intourist Hotel
Sheraton Baku Intourist Hotel combines the legacy of history with modern style
Built on the site of the once-famous "Intourist" hotel, this establishment is now recognized as one of Baku's most prestigious venues. Located along the shores of the Caspian Sea, the hotel offers guests breathtaking views of both the sea and the city.
Let’s take a closer look at the history of Sheraton “Intourist” was one of the first hotels in Baku, which was built in 1934 on Neftchilar Avenue under the leadership of the famous architect Alexey Shchusev. The hotel’s significance was proven once again when it was registered as a historical monument by the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR in 1979.
Hotel quickly became a beloved gathering place for Baku’s elite, including esteemed composers, artists, and poets, for its fine cuisine and the best jazz musicians. The pride of the hotel was a small banquet hall for 40 people, known as the East Hall.
Many weddings of well-known people have taken place here, and even today, people still talk about these weddings.
Furthermore, “Intourist” has been featured in popular Azerbaijani films, including the filming of the initial scenes of the “Ulduz” movie (1964) and in “Yol Ehvalati” movie (1980) with a quote that “I owe you an Intourist feast”.
Nostalgic Experiences of Baku
After years, in the beginning of 2000s, due to a strong earthquake which caused great damage to the hotel, it was completely deconstructed. In the spring of 2015, on the initiative of Absheron Hotel Group, the process of the return of the “Intourist” legend began, and built on the basis of the Shchusev’s project, again decorated the capital of Azerbaijan.
The new hotel was built very close to the place of the “Old Intourist”.
The decision was made to rebrand the hotel as the Sheraton Baku Intourist, emphasizing the significance of its rich history.
