Death Star Hotel to built in Azerbaijan

Yes, that hotel strangely resembles the Death Star and no, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you.

Heerim architects are looking to build the Star Wars staple in, of all places, Baku, Azerbaijan. They’re hoping to bring this design, called the Hotel Full Moon, and another, the Hotel Crescent, to one of the fastest growing economies and will rightly call the area Full Moon Bay.

I personally just think it’s a cover up for things to come and I’m taking the proper precautions.

The last time someone planned to build a Death Star, there was a little guy named Anakin walking around claiming to bring a balance in the force. And well, we all know how that one turned out.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in a bunker in Iceland rounding up Wookies and Ewoks.

May the Force be with you.


A hotel that looks more than a little like the Death Star from the front is being planned for construction in Asian republic of Azerbaijan! A little random!Its called the “Full Moon Rising” hotel, and was designed by Hareem Architects to resemble a full moon in the sky, but everyone over 20 will probably always refer to it as “that death star hotel

A jungle hotel in the land of desert – Dubai

Trust the folks in Dubai to come up with some of the most outlandish yet sophisticated architectural structures……which all of us can just gawk at. The most latest to join the list of them is a seven-star hotel that will cover a jungle too! Actually the hotel designed by Sybarite Architects would feature a two-storey jungle at the top of the 28-storey building. The US$350m (£173m) 28-floor Aperiron building would be 300m from the Dubai coast and accessible only by boat or helicopter. As well as 438 luxury suites, it would contain a spa, an art gallery, and an underwater restaurant with views into a surrounding lagoon. To top it off, the top two floors would house a temperature-controlled butterfly jungle with tropical species.
