HOTEL CRESCENT
http://www.skyscrapernews.com/news.php?ref=1357

Acting as the counterpoint to Hotel Full Moon is Hotel Crescent, part of the Caspian Plus redevelopment that stands as a curving arch similar to a crescent moon. The arch-like nature of the building is revealed by the fact that the structure isn't a pure crescent on its inside relying on more regularly shaped columns to help provide it with support.

At 32 floors tall it will also be a luxury hotel, this time with 221 rooms. There will also be 128 serviced apartments in the building. Floor space will 128,140 square metres.

Behind it will stand a further four tall buildings, three of which will be residential with the tallest of the quartet being a 43 floor office building standing 203 metres tall.

Heerim Architects have not long been established in Azerbaijan. They only opened their office in the country in July 2007 and yet have already secured these two major projects that face transforming the capital of one of the world's fastest growing economies.

Better watch out for the Death Star visible in the upper left,

This hotel is gonna be one very difficult-to-construct skyscraper.

its a rip off of a simmilar circular hotel announced in Dubai last year as part of the redesiged marina entrance by Nakheel

not as spectacular as the full moon project, but nevertheless fantastic.
