Baku has schanged a LOT since my fisrst time here March 2007. Lots of new parks, not so much trash. The city is cleaner and traffic is not as crazy as it was 15months ago. The bouleward will be extended and the "international port" the shipyard with the old warehouses and cranes will be moved outside the city. Just outside "Bayal" for those who knows the city..... I Actually have a belie in this project, because Baku have a lot of beatifulll architecture. The old city is beatifull and in pretty good condition. Good luck Baku..... As an tourist atraction, very nice people and a safe city should be a good starting point, Remeber Baku is an ols city, which was the main "oil capital" of the earth in old times. Lamp oil was the main thing at that time, i think it was the worlds first oil city....From a guy that has lived in Baku and travells to Baku often..... And maybe more frequent in the future?

With respect to these construction projects I\'d say that Azerbaijan needs something to boost and sustain its economy rather than hotels at present becuase population suffer a lot from every day-rising prices and unsolvable, long-standing unemployment problem. These hotels idea would come in line with only a small group of people\'s interest who are at power, but the rest would certainly reject it, as I do. It is a new way of spoiling the funds of natioanl resources, oil and gas, which the greatest part of the population don\'t benefit from. I\’m an inhabitant of Baku city.

So striking, in fact, that Azerbaijan may find itself flooded with glassy eyed Star Wars fans if this hotel were to be truly put in production. Even without this claim to fame, the Full Moon Hotel would surely be  flooded by tourists who want a gorgeous view of the Caspian Sea, which the Hotel conveniently overlooks.

To be fair there are a couple hotels underway that, if they look anything like the pictures, will be very nice. Unfortunately the views will be of a dozen old cranes in a dirty ship yard. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of tall apartment building in various stages of construction, but I would want to live in any of them. Building codes are non-existent, it's pretty well agreed that the first decent earthquake will bring most of them down. One's already fallen down killing several workers. Add to that the overall pollution, congestion and myriad other infrastructure problems, and this city has a long hard road ahead if they want to see real improvement. That said, I truly hope they do manage to pull off a major overhaul of this place. There are a few hopeful signs. As an expat living in Baku, I have to laugh at this.
