Riding towards Victory: Four Seasons Hotel Baku partners with Azerkhalcha to honour Victory day

Karabakh horses and the folk art of carpet weaving pays tribute to Azerbaijan’s rich culture and heritage.

In partnership with Azerkhalcha, the lobby at Four Seasons Hotel Baku will be graced with a stunning new centrepiece to mark Azerbaijan’s November 8th Victory Day celebrations. An installation of four flying Karabakh horses, each made from four distinguished types of Karabakh carpets (Chelebi, Malybeyli, Khatai and Gasimushagi), symbolises the revival of the unique culture of the ancient lands of Karabakh, which were liberated from 30 years of occupation. The galloping Karabakh horses represent one of the oldest and most treasured breeds in the world, and serves as a symbol of national heritage and pride of the Azerbaijani people.
